From a7c8215e3bbcdd3b5dbaabfcecf236d4a9880558 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2016 19:26:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: disable virtqueue notifications during polling This is a performance optimization to eliminate vmexits during polling. It also avoids spurious ioeventfd processing after polling ends.
