Subject: [PATCH] virtio_ring: reject NULL recycle callback in reset/resize helpers
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 23:24:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315152403.127645-1-shengwen1997.tw@gmail.com> (raw)

virtqueue_reset() and virtqueue_resize() rely on the recycle callback
to release each detached unused buffer after disable_vq_and_reset().

As a defensive change, reject a NULL recycle callback explicitly to make
this requirement clear. Update virtqueue_disable_and_recycle() to warn
and return -EINVAL when @recycle is NULL, and update the descriptions
for virtqueue_reset() and virtqueue_resize() to document that @recycle
must not be %NULL.
