assign-dev: Purpose of interrupt_work

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

 



Hi,

I was starring at the IRQ delivery path of assigned devices for a while,
wondering why we have a work queue there. Now, after looking at some
prehistoric versions, I think the reason is that there once was a mutex
involved while we now use RCU. Am I right that we could actually drop
this indirection today?
