Subject: [PATCH 4.19 041/191] xen/blkback: use lateeoi irq binding

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

commit 01263a1fabe30b4d542f34c7e2364a22587ddaf2 upstream.

In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due
to event storms triggered by a misbehaving blkfront use the lateeoi
irq binding for blkback and unmask the event channel only after
processing all pending requests.

As the thread processing requests is used to do purging work in regular
intervals an EOI may be sent only after having received an event. If
there was no pending I/O request flag the EOI as spurious.

This is part of XSA-332.
