Subject: [PATCH] vhost: wake up worker outside spin_lock
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 21:50:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51B1E518.1070003@huawei.com> (raw)

the wake_up_process func is included by spin_lock/unlock in 
vhost_work_queue,
but it could be done outside the spin_lock.
I have test it with kernel 3.0.27 and guest suse11-sp2 using iperf,
the num as below.
                  original                 modified
thread_num  tp(Gbps)   vhost(%)  |  tp(Gbps)     vhost(%)
1           9.59        28.82    |   9.59        27.49
8           9.61        32.92    |   9.62        26.77
64          9.58        46.48    |   9.55        38.99
256         9.6         63.7     |   9.6         52.59
