From c23b1ece6112ed0f227fdc881db33c6427b65222 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2013 13:19:18 +0300 Subject: virtio: support unlocked queue poll [ Upstream commit cc229884d3f77ec3b1240e467e0236c3e0647c0c ] This adds a way to check ring empty state after enable_cb outside any locks. Will be used by virtio_net. Note: there's room for more optimization: caller is likely to have a memory barrier already, which means we might be able to get rid of a barrier here. Deferring this optimization until we do some benchmarking. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: David S.
