Subject: [PULL 2/2] vhost: replace rcu with mutex
Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 00:30:18 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401744482-17764-3-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1401744482-17764-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com>

All memory accesses are done under some VQ mutex.
So lock/unlock all VQs is a faster equivalent of synchronize_rcu()
for memory access changes.
Some guests cause a lot of these changes, so it's helpful
to make them faster.
