> Subject: [PATCH v7] vhost: support virtqueue interrupt/notification
> suppression
>
> The driver can suppress interrupt when VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit is
> negotiated. The driver set vring flags to 0, and MAY use used_event in
> available ring to advise device interrupt util reach an index specified
> by used_event. The device ignore the lower bit of vring flags, and send
> an interrupt when index reach used_event.
>
> The device can suppress notification in a manner analogous to the ways
> driver suppress interrupt. The device manipulates flags or avail_event in
> the used ring in the same way the driver manipulates flags or used_event in
> available ring.
