[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 7/9] kvm: Switch to unlocked PIO


From: Paolo Bonzini
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 7/9] kvm: Switch to unlocked PIO
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 18:47:24 +0200

From: Jan Kiszka <address@hidden>

Do not take the BQL before dispatching PIO requests of KVM VCPUs.
Instead, address_space_rw will do it if necessary. This enables
completely BQL-free PIO handling in KVM mode for upcoming devices with
fine-grained locking.
