Subject: [PATCH] can: virtio: fix virtqueue use before DRIVER_OK
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 02:11:13 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111-virtio-can-ready-v1-1-0b4dd020af0b@naver.com> (raw)

From: Seonghyeon Lim <forfortuna@naver.com>

virtio_can_probe() and virtio_can_restore() fill the RX virtqueue and
kick it before the device is set DRIVER_OK. The virtio specification
does not allow the driver to notify the device before DRIVER_OK.

In restore, if the interface was up, virtio_can_open() then sends a
START control message and waits for the reply. DRIVER_OK is only set
by the virtio core after restore returns, so the device may never
handle the request and the wait never completes, which hangs system
resume. In probe, an ndo_open() right after register_candev() can
likewise send the START message before DRIVER_OK.

Call virtio_device_ready() before the first virtqueue use in both
probe and restore, as virtio-net does.

Fixes: 083082a4e6d8 ("can: virtio: Add virtio CAN driver")

Tested with QEMU 8.2 + vhost-device-can: with the CAN interface up,
suspend/resume (pm_test=devices) hangs without this patch and
completes with it. No new lockdep warnings.
