From 3eba9a77d5fc2cee486a16fff435686f024f61cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 22:29:44 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Eliminate the spin lock on the read path The function hv_ringbuffer_read() is called always on a pre-assigned CPU. Each chnnel is bound to a specific CPU and this function is always called on the CPU the channel is bound. There is no need to acquire the spin lock; get rid of this overhead. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
