[RFC PATCH 4/4] virtio-net: sleep instead of busy waiting for cvq command

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>
Date: 2022-12-22 06:06:39

Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, virtio net driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

We used to busy waiting on the cvq command this tends to be
problematic since:

1) CPU could wait for ever on a buggy/malicous device
2) There's no wait to terminate the process that triggers the cvq
   command

So this patch switch to use sleep with a timeout (1s) instead of busy
polling for the cvq command forever. This gives the scheduler a breath
and can let the process can respond to a signal.
