[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 015/144] virtio_console: avoid config access from irq

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Apr 21 2015 - 12:28:01 EST


3.16.7-ckt10 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eeb8a7e8bb123e84daeef84f5a2eab99ad2839a2 upstream.

when multiport is off, virtio console invokes config access from irq
context, config access is blocking on s390.
Fix this up by scheduling work from config irq - similar to what we do
for multiport configs.
