Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 2/2] virtio-net: add cond_resched() to the command waiting loop
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2023 04:38:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230720083839.481487-3-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230720083839.481487-1-jasowang@redhat.com>

Adding cond_resched() to the command waiting loop for a better
co-operation with the scheduler. This allows to give CPU a breath to
run other task(workqueue) instead of busy looping when preemption is
not allowed on a device whose CVQ might be slow.
