From 426e3e0af5d2473e67d4256fc1340b7faebd1cc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 23:49:59 -0500 Subject: virtio: clarify NO_NOTIFY flag usage The other side (host) can set the NO_NOTIFY flag as an optimization, to say "no need to kick me when you add things". Make it clear that this is advisory only; especially that we should always notify when the ring is full.
