From ebef8ea2ba967026192a26f4529890893919bc57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2020 11:31:12 +0200 Subject: um: time-travel: Fix IRQ handling in time_travel_handle_message() As the comment here indicates, we need to do the polling in the idle loop without blocking interrupts, since interrupts can be vhost-user messages that we must process even while in our idle loop. I don't know why I explained one thing and implemented another, but we have indeed observed random hangs due to this, depending on the timing of the messages.
