[PATCH] drm/virtio: kick vq outside of the vq lock

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

 



Replace virtqueue_kick by virtqueue_kick_prepare, which requires
serialization, and virtqueue_notify, which does not.  Repurpose the
return values to indicate whether the vq should be notified.

This fixes a lock contention with qemu host.  When the guest calls
vibad rtqueue_notify, the qemu vcpu thread exits the guest and waits
for the qemu iothread to perform the MMIO.  If the qemu iothread is
still processing the prior buffer, and if the prior buffer is cheap
to GPU, the iothread will go ahead and generate an IRQ for the
guest.  A worker thread in the guest will call
virtio_gpu_dequeue_ctrl_func.  If virtqueue_notify was called with
the vq lock held, the worker thread would busy wait inside
virtio_gpu_dequeue_ctrl_func.
