Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] xen/events: unmask a fifo event channel only if it was masked
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 11:49:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201022094907.28560-5-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201022094907.28560-1-jgross@suse.com>

Unmasking an event channel with fifo events channels being used can
require a hypercall to be made, so try to avoid that by checking
whether the event channel was really masked.
