In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due to event storms triggered by a misbehaving pcifront use the lateeoi irq binding for pciback and unmask the event channel only just before leaving the event handling function. Restructure the handling to support that scheme. Basically an event can come in for two reasons: either a normal request for a pciback action, which is handled in a worker, or in case the guest has finished an AER request which was requested by pciback. When an AER request is issued to the guest and a normal pciback action is currently active issue an EOI early in order to be able to receive another event when the AER request has been finished by the guest. Let the worker processing the normal requests run until no further request is pending, instead of starting a new worker ion that case. Issue the EOI only just before leaving the worker. This scheme allows to drop calling the generic function xen_pcibk_test_and_schedule_op() after processing of any request as the handling of both request types is now separated more cleanly. This is part of XSA-332.
