[RFC PATCH 0/4] virtio-net: don't busy poll for cvq command

From: Jason Wang

Hi all:

The code used to busy poll for cvq command which turns out to have
several side effects:

1) infinite poll for buggy devices
2) bad interaction with scheduler

So this series tries to use sleep + timeout instead of busy polling.

Please review.

Thanks

Jason Wang (4):
virtio-net: convert rx mode setting to use workqueue
virtio_ring: switch to use BAD_RING()
virtio_ring: introduce a per virtqueue waitqueue
virtio-net: sleep instead of busy waiting for cvq command
