Another question, wanted to make sure: virtnet_poll does schedule_delayed_work(&vi->refill, 0); separately refill work itself also does schedule_delayed_work(&vi->refill, HZ/2); If two such events happen twice, on different CPUs, we are still guaranteed the work will only run once, right? _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
