[PATCH v3] virtio_ring: interrupt disable flag updated to vq even with event_triggered is set
Ican't parse the subject at all. I think the subject from v2 was fine - we are skipping event index updates on get buf. Or maybe go higher level and describe the effect of the patch: virtio_ring: reduce interrupt rate with event idx enabled On Wed, Mar 29, 2023 at 03:21:35PM +0800, Albert Huang wrote:> From: "huangjie.albert" <huangjie.albert at bytedance.com> > > in virtio_net, if we disable the napi_tx, when we triger a tx interrupt, > the vq->event_triggered will be set to true.

It's not great because it only works because VRING_PACKED_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE happens to equal 0x1. does not the patch work with the original if (vq->packed.event_flags_shadow != VRING_PACKED_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE) ?
