In order to reduce the chance for the system becoming unresponsive due to event storms triggered by a misbehaving netfront use the lateeoi irq binding for netback and unmask the event channel only just before going to sleep waiting for new events. Make sure not to issue an EOI when none is pending by introducing an eoi_pending element to struct xenvif_queue. When no request has been consumed set the spurious flag when sending the EOI for an interrupt. This is part of XSA-332.

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.
