Subject: [PATCH net] virtio-net: enable all napis before scheduling refill work
Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2025 22:34:19 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251208153419.18196-1-minhquangbui99@gmail.com> (raw)
Calling napi_disable() on an already disabled napi can cause the
deadlock. In commit 4bc12818b363 ("virtio-net: disable delayed refill
when pausing rx"), to avoid the deadlock, when pausing the RX in
virtnet_rx_pause[_all](), we disable and cancel the delayed refill work.
However, in the virtnet_rx_resume_all(), we enable the delayed refill
work too early before enabling all the receive queue napis.
The deadlock can be reproduced by running
selftests/drivers/net/hw/xsk_reconfig.py with multiqueue virtio-net
device and inserting a cond_resched() inside the for loop in
virtnet_rx_resume_all() to increase the success rate. Because the worker
processing the delayed refilled work runs on the same CPU as
virtnet_rx_resume_all(), a reschedule is needed to cause the deadlock.
In real scenario, the contention on netdev_lock can cause the
reschedule.
This fixes the deadlock by ensuring all receive queue's napis are
enabled before we enable the delayed refill work in
virtnet_rx_resume_all() and virtnet_open().
