The command VQ will no longer be protected by the RTNL lock. Use a
spinlock to protect the control buffer header and the VQ.

Spinlock is instead of mutex which is problematic as there's no
guarantee on when the driver will get a reply. And it became even more
serious after 0d197a147164 ("virtio-net: add cond_resched() to the
command waiting loop").

Any reason we can't use mutex?

Hi Jason,

I made a patch set to enable ctrlq's irq on top of this patch set, which removes cond_resched().

But I need a little time to test, this is close to fast. So could the topic about cond_resched +
spin lock or mutex lock be wait?

Thank you very much!


Thanks
