Subject: [PATCH v4] virtio_net: disable cb when NAPI is busy-polled
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:37:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625013733.29300-1-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 it is re-enabled by
virtqueue_napi_complete() when going idle.
Fixes: ceef438d613f ("virtio_net: remove custom busy_poll")
