virtio_disable_cb is currently a nop for split ring with event index. This is because it used to be always called from a callback when we know device won't trigger more events until we update the index. However, now that we run with interrupts enabled a lot we also poll without a callback so that is different: disabling callbacks will help reduce the number of spurious interrupts. Further, if using event index with a packed ring, and if being called from a callback, we actually do disable interrupts which is unnecessary. Fix both issues by tracking whenever we get a callback. If that is the case disabling interrupts with event index can be a nop. If not the case disable interrupts. Note: with a split ring there's no explicit "no interrupts" value. For now we write a fixed value so our chance of triggering an interupt is 1/ring size. It's probably better to write something related to the last used index there to reduce the chance even further. For now I'm keeping it simple. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
