[PATCH 0/2] multi-threading device shutdown

From: Pavel Tatashin
Date: Thu May 03 2018 - 00:00:11 EST


Do a faster shutdown by calling dev->*->shutdown(dev) in parallel.
device_shutdown() calls these functions for every single device but
only using one thread.

Since, nothing else is running on the machine by the device_shutdown()
s called, there is no reason not to utilize all the available CPU
resources.

ixgbe: release lock for the duration of ixgbe_suspend_close()
drivers core: multi-threading device shutdown
