Subject: [PATCH v3] virtio_net: disable cb when NAPI is busy-polled
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:02:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624070206.85467-1-lange_tang@163.com> (raw)

From: Longjun Tang <tanglongjun@kylinos.cn>

When busy-poll is active, napi_schedule_prep() returns false in
virtqueue_napi_schedule(), so virtqueue_disable_cb() is skipped.
The device may keep firing irqs until reaches virtqueue_napi_complete().
Under load (received == budget), it will lead to a large number
of spurious interrupts.

Fix it by disabling the callback at the virtnet_poll() entry. This keeps
the callback off while we poll and re-enable by virtqueue_napi_complete()
when going idle.

Fixes: ceef438d613f ("virtio_net: remove custom busy_poll")
Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Longjun Tang <tanglongjun@kylinos.cn>
