virtio-net: don't re-enable refill work too early when NAPI is disabled
[ Upstream commit 1e20324 ] Commit 4bc1281 ("virtio-net: disable delayed refill when pausing rx") fixed a deadlock between reconfig paths and refill work trying to disable the same NAPI instance. The refill work can't run in parallel with reconfig because trying to double-disable a NAPI instance causes a stall under the instance lock, which the reconfig path needs to re-enable the NAPI and therefore unblock the stalled thread. There are two cases where we re-enable refill too early. One is in the virtnet_set_queues() handler. We call it when installing XDP: virtnet_rx_pause_all(vi); ... virtnet_napi_tx_disable(..); ... virtnet_set_queues(..); ... virtnet_rx_resume_all(..); We want the work to be disabled until we call virtnet_rx_resume_all(), but virtnet_set_queues() kicks it before NAPIs were re-enabled. The other case is a more trivial case of mis-ordering in __virtnet_rx_resume() found by code inspection. Taking the spin lock in virtnet_set_queues() (requested during review) may be unnecessary as we are under rtnl_lock and so are all paths writing to ->refill_enabled. Acked-by: Michael S.
