virtio config access races

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

 



It looks like there's a problem in the way virtio config currently
works: if driver reads config in probe routine, config
subsequently can change before core sets DRIVER_OK.
This will not cause an interrupt and so this event is lost.
Maybe we should document that devices should delay such
events until after DRIVER_OK?
