This patch introduces a workqueue to support injecting

and pop() for used vring can be asynchronous.

Do you have pref numbers for this patch?

No, I can do some tests for it if needed.

Another problem is the VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature will be useless
if we call irq callback in ioctl context. Something like:

virtqueue_push();
virtio_notify();
     ioctl()
-------------------------------------------------
         irq_cb()
             virtqueue_get_buf()

The used vring is always empty each time we call virtqueue_push() in
userspace. Not sure if it is what we expected.


I'm not sure I get the issue.

THe used ring should be filled by virtqueue_push() which is done by userspace before?

Thanks



Thanks,
Yongji
