__xen_evtchn_do_upcall() contains guards against being called recursively. This mechanism was introduced in the early pvops times (kernel 2.6.26) when there were all the Xen backend drivers missing from the upstream kernel, and some of those out-of-tree drivers were enabling interrupts in their event handlers (which was explicitly allowed in the initial XenoLinux). Nowadays we don't need to support those old drivers any more and the capability to allow recursive calls of __xen_evtchn_do_upcall() can be removed.

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.
