[PATCH] virtio_ring: Make interrupt suppression spec compliant

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



According to the spec, if the VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit is
negotiated the driver MUST set flags to 0. Not dirtying the available
ring in virtqueue_disable_cb may also have a positive performance impact.

Writes to the used event field (vring_used_event) are still unconditional.
