Juergen Gross a29c8b5226 xen/netfront: harden netfront against event channel storms
commit b27d47950e upstream.

The Xen netfront driver is still vulnerable for an attack via excessive
number of events sent by the backend. Fix that by using lateeoi event
channels.

For being able to detect the case of no rx responses being added while
the carrier is down a new lock is needed in order to update and test
rsp_cons and the number of seen unconsumed responses atomically.

This is part of XSA-391

README

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.
