Gerd Hoffmann 744583ecc3 drm/virtio: notify virtqueues without holding spinlock
Split virtqueue_kick() call into virtqueue_kick_prepare(), which
requires serialization, and virtqueue_notify(), which does not.  Move
the virtqueue_notify() call out of the critical section protected by the
queue lock.  This avoids triggering a vmexit while holding the lock and
thereby fixes a rather bad spinlock contention.

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.
