[PATCH v2 3/3] vhost: Fix livepatch timeouts in vhost_worker()
Posted by Josh Poimboeuf 2 years, 6 months ago
Livepatch timeouts were reported due to busy vhost_worker() kthreads.
Now that cond_resched() can do livepatch task switching, use
cond_resched() in vhost_worker().  That's the better way to
conditionally call schedule() anyway.
