Subject: [PATCH 1/6] net/gve: add thread safety to admin queue
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 22:22:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511222301.862880-2-blasko@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511222301.862880-1-blasko@google.com>
From: Mark Blasko <blasko@google.com>
Introduce a pthread_mutex to protect the admin queue operations.
Locking was added around gve_adminq_execute_cmd and the batch
queue creation/destruction functions.
