Subject: Fix BE watch firing
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bf5a8754c9d9b87ce3fb2bc2a698de564b4f6cb6;p=people%2Fpauldu%2Fqemu.git

Fix BE watch firing

We can't do this recursively from *within* the node walk. The callers
don't expect that, and we end up calling them with an invalid tree —
we glibly declared "we hold the lock so we can steal children from the
tree while we go down it, and nobody can notice", and that becomes untrue
if we then call *back* into the backends which then call into the XS code
again while it's in that state.

Defer the watch firing until the main loop goes idle again, which is how
it would happen for real Xen watches (which trigger via a pollable file
descriptor in the main loop).
