Subject: [PATCH] vhost-net: avoid flush under lock
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:19:12 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100715121912.GA7176@redhat.com> (raw)
We flush under vq mutex when changing backends.
This creates a deadlock as workqueue being flushed
needs this lock as well.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612421
Drop the vq mutex before flush: we have the device mutex
which is sufficient to prevent another ioctl from touching
the vq.
