Virtualization - May 2023 - [PATCH V3 net-next 0/2] virtio-net: don't busy poll for cvq command

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 cond_resched() in the waiting loop. Before
doing this we need first make sure the cvq command is not executed in
atomic environment, so we need first convert rx mode handling to a
workqueue.

Please review.

Thanks

Changes since V2:

- Don't use interrupt but cond_resched()

Changes since V1:

- use RTNL to synchronize rx mode worker
- use completion for simplicity
- don't try to harden CVQ command

Changes since RFC:

- switch to use BAD_RING in virtio_break_device()
- check virtqueue_is_broken() after being woken up
- use more_used() instead of virtqueue_get_buf() to allow caller to
  get buffers afterwards
  - break the virtio-net device when timeout
  - get buffer manually since the virtio core check more_used() instead

This patch convert rx mode setting to be done in a workqueue, this is
a must for allow to sleep when waiting for the cvq command to
response since current code is executed under addr spin lock.

2.25.1

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.
