    Subject[ 04/13] xen/events: initialize local per-cpu mask for all possible events
    Date
    3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

    commit 84ca7a8e45dafb49cd5ca90a343ba033e2885c17 upstream.

    The sizeof() argument in init_evtchn_cpu_bindings() is incorrect
    resulting in only the first 64 (or 32 in 32-bit guests) ports having
    their bindings being initialized to VCPU 0.

    In most cases this does not cause a problem as request_irq() will set
    the irq affinity which will set the correct local per-cpu mask.
    However, if the request_irq() is called on a VCPU other than 0, there
    is a window between the unmasking of the event and the affinity being
    set were an event may be lost because it is not locally unmasked on
    any VCPU. If request_irq() is called on VCPU 0 then local irqs are
    disabled during the window and the race does not occur.

    Fix this by initializing all NR_EVENT_CHANNEL bits in the local
    per-cpu masks.
