vhost: wake up worker outside spin_lock
the wake_up_process func is included by spin_lock/unlock in vhost_work_queue, but it could be done outside the spin_lock. I have test it with kernel 3.0.27 and guest suse11-sp2 using iperf, the num as below. original modified thread_num tp(Gbps) vhost(%) | tp(Gbps) vhost(%) 1 9.59 28.82 | 9.59 27.49 8 9.61 32.92 | 9.62 26.77 64 9.58 46.48 | 9.55 38.99 256 9.6 63.7 | 9.6 52.59 Signed-off-by: Chuanyu Qin <qinchuanyu@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
