Isn't there a way to call all this after vhost_get_vq_desc?
First, this will reduce the good path overhead as you
won't have to play with timers and preemption.
Second, this will reduce the chance of a pagefault on avail ring read.

Need a hint that it's rx related in the name.

This appears to be called under vq mutex in handle_rx.
So how does this work then?

This appears to be called after disable notify
in handle_rx - so why disable here again?

This seems to mix in several items.
RX queue is normally not empty. I don't think
we need to poll for that.
So IMHO we only need to poll for sk_receive_queue really.

But vhost_enable_notify returns true on queue not empty.
So in fact this will requeue on good path -
does not make sense to me.

Same comment as for get vq desc here: don't slow
down the good path.

So why not reuse vhost_vring_state then?
