The pause version delays sometime by writing to 0x80 debug port. virtio doesn't need this. virtio legacy PMD driver doens't use this. Any device relying on this i think is buggy. How could the device rely on some uncertain cpu cycles to behave correct? > > What is the downside of using "pause until the I/O completes" versions? The downside in virtio PMD is a small performance penalty when we use it to notify backend. CPU executes unnecessary serializing IO instruction. I check kernel code, io wrapper for in/out doesn't use p version.
