From 41f0377f73039ca6fe97a469d1941a89cd9757f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:44:43 +1030 Subject: virtio: support unlocked queue kick Based on patch by Christoph for virtio_blk speedup: Split virtqueue_kick to be able to do the actual notification outside the lock protecting the virtqueue. This patch was originally done by Stefan Hajnoczi, but I can't find the original one anymore and had to recreated it from memory. Pointers to the original or corrections for the commit message are welcome. Stefan's patch was here: https://github.com/stefanha/linux/commit/a6d06644e3a58e57a774e77d7dc34c4a5a2e7496 http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-virtualization/msg14616.html Third time's the charm!
