[PATCH 5/6] vhost_net: poll vhost queue after marking DMA is done

From: Jason Wang
Date: Fri Aug 16 2013 - 01:29:10 EST


We used to poll vhost queue before making DMA is done, this is racy if vhost
thread were waked up before marking DMA is done which can result the signal to
be missed. Fix this by always poll the vhost thread before DMA is done.
