[RFC V7 PATCH 2/7] virtio_ring: try to disable event index callbacks in virtqueue_disable_cb()

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

 



Currently, we do nothing to prevent the callbacks in virtqueue_disable_cb() when
event index is used. This may cause spurious interrupts which may damage the
performance. This patch tries to publish last_used_idx as the used even to prevent
the callbacks.
