Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 2/6] virtio: introduce virtio_enable_cb_avail()
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 15:25:26 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1413357930-45302-3-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1413357930-45302-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>

This patch introduces virtio_enable_cb_avail() to publish avail idx
and used event. This could be used by batched buffer submitting to
reduce the number of tx interrupts.
