From d4a60603fa0b42012decfa058dfa44cffde7a10c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2016 06:24:52 -0500 Subject: vhost: introduce vhost_vq_avail_empty() This patch introduces a helper which will return true if we're sure that the available ring is empty for a specific vq. When we're not sure, e.g vq access failure, return false instead. This could be used for busy polling code to exit the busy loop. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: Michael S.
