[PATCH V6 3/9] virtio: introduce config op to synchronize vring callbacks

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

 



This patch introduces new virtio config op to vring
callbacks. Transport specific method is required to make sure the
write before this function is visible to the vring_interrupt() that is
called after the return of this function. For the transport that
doesn't provide synchronize_vqs(), use synchornize_rcu() which
synchronize with IRQ implicitly as a fallback.
