hi Sorin,
I had a question regarding latency of processing the requests. Looks good
otherwise. A v4 should be good to go.

minor: indentation can be improved to:
while (NULL !=
(request = OvsTunnelFilterRequestPop(&threadCtx->listRequests))) {

What happens if there are 10 requests to process, and the 5th one fails. You’d
bail out of processing commit the 4 and go back into calling
KeWaitForMultipleObjects() in OvsTunnelFilterThreadProc(). What is the trigger
to processing the remaining 5 request, esp. if they are legitimate requests and
there’s a good chance that they’ll succeed.
Also, if you are worried about the number of requests being committed per
transaction, maybe you should submit them in batches.
Does KeSetEvent() queue up wakeup events?
