Currently the buffer used for control VQ commands is protected by the RTNL lock. Previously this wasn't a major concern because the control VQ was only used during device setup and user interaction. With the recent addition of dynamic interrupt moderation the control VQ may be used frequently during normal operation. This series removes the RNTL lock dependency by introducing a spin lock to protect the control buffer and writing SGs to the control VQ. v3: - Changed type of _offloads to __virtio16 to fix static analysis warning. - Moved a misplaced hunk to the correct patch. v2: - New patch to only process the provided queue in virtnet_dim_work - New patch to lock per queue rx coalescing structure. Daniel Jurgens (6): virtio_net: Store RSS setting in virtnet_info virtio_net: Remove command data from control_buf virtio_net: Add a lock for the command VQ. virtio_net: Do DIM update for specified queue only virtio_net: Add a lock for per queue RX coalesce virtio_net: Remove rtnl lock protection of command buffers drivers/net/virtio_net.c | 243 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 134 insertions(+), 109 deletions(-) -- 2.42.0
