Subject: [PATCH net] virtio-net: add cond_resched() to the command waiting loop
Date:   Mon,  5 Sep 2022 12:53:41 +0800
Message-Id: <20220905045341.66191-1-jasowang@redhat.com>

Precedence: bulk

Adding cond_resched() to the command waiting loop for a better
co-operation with the scheduler. This allows to give CPU a breath to
run other task(workqueue) instead of busy looping when preemption is
not allowed.

What's more important. This is a must for some vDPA parent to work
since control virtqueue is emulated via a workqueue for those parents.

Fixes: bda324fd037a ("vdpasim: control virtqueue support")
