xen_send_IPI_one() is being used by cpuhp_report_idle_dead() after
it calls rcu_report_dead(), meaning that any RCU usage by
xen_send_IPI_one() is a bad idea.
Unfortunately xen_send_IPI_one() is using notify_remote_via_irq()
today, which is using irq_get_chip_data() via info_for_irq(). And
irq_get_chip_data() in turn is using a maple-tree lookup requiring
RCU.
Avoid this problem by caching the ipi event channels in another
percpu variable, allowing the use notify_remote_via_evtchn() in
xen_send_IPI_one().

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.
