Subject: [PATCH net V2] virtio-net: correctly enable callback during start_xmit
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 11:27:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221215032719.72294-1-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)

Commit a7766ef18b33("virtio_net: disable cb aggressively") enables
virtqueue callback via the following statement:

        do {
           ......
	} while (use_napi && kick &&
               unlikely(!virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed(sq->vq)));

When NAPI is used and kick is false, the callback won't be enabled
here. And when the virtqueue is about to be full, the tx will be
disabled, but we still don't enable tx interrupt which will cause a TX
hang. This could be observed when using pktgen with burst enabled.

Fixing this by trying to enable tx interrupt after we disable TX when
we're not using napi or kick is false.
