From 22bc63c58e876cc359d0b1566dee3db8ecc16722 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2021 01:38:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: move txq wakeups under tx q lock We currently check num_free outside tx q lock which is unsafe: new packets can arrive meanwhile and there won't be space in the queue. Thus a spurious queue wakeup causing overhead and even packet drops. Move the check under the lock to fix that. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
