[PATCH V3 net-next 2/2] virtio-net: add cond_resched() to the command waiting loop
From: Jason Wang
Date: Wed May 24 2023 - 04:20:03 EST
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 on a device whose CVQ might be slow.
