[PATCH 1/7] xen/events: fix delayed eoi list handling

From: Juergen Gross
Date: Mon Oct 16 2023 - 02:28:46 EST


When delaying eoi handling of events, the related elements are queued
into the percpu lateeoi list. In case the list isn't empty, the
elements should be sorted by the time when eoi handling is to happen.

Unfortunately a new element will never be queued at the start of the
list, even if it has a handling time lower than all other list
elements.

Fix that by handling that case the same way as for an empty list.

Fixes: e99502f76271 ("xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of events")
