Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] virtio: use volatile to get used->idx in the loop
Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 00:16:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464106601-981-1-git-send-email-huawei.xie@intel.com> (raw)

There is no external function call or any barrier in the loop,
the used->idx would only be retrieved once.
