[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux/netback: save interrupt state in add_to_net_schedule_list_tail

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Ian Campbell <ijc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: xen: netback: save interrupt state in add_to_net_schedule_list_tail

add_to_net_schedule_list_tail is called from both hard interrupt context
(add_to_net_schedule_list_tail) and soft interrupt/process context
(netif_schedule_work) so use the interrupt state saving spinlock
variants.

Fixes:
