In commit 3499ba8198ca ("xen: Fix event channel callback via INTX/GSI") I reworked the triggering of xenbus_probe(). I tried to simplify things by taking out the workqueue based startup triggered from wake_waiting(); the somewhat poorly named xenbus IRQ handler. I missed the fact that in the XS_LOCAL case (Dom0 starting its own xenstored or xenstore-stubdom, which happens after the kernel is booted completely), that IRQ-based trigger is still actually needed. So... put it back, except more cleanly. By just spawning a xenbus_probe thread which waits on xb_waitq and runs the probe the first time it gets woken, just as the workqueue-based hack did. This is actually a nicer approach for *all* the back ends with different interrupt methods, and we can switch them all over to that without the complex conditions for when to trigger it. But not in -rc6. This is the minimal fix for the regression, although it's a step in the right direction instead of doing a partial revert and actually putting the workqueue back. It's also simpler than the workqueue.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
