[PATCH] virtio-net: disable delayed refill when setting up xdp

[PATCH] virtio-net: disable delayed refill when setting up xdp

[Bui Quang Minh]

When setting up XDP for a running interface, we call napi_disable() on
the receive queue's napi. In delayed refill_work, it also calls
napi_disable() on the receive queue's napi. This can leads to deadlock
when napi_disable() is called on an already disabled napi. This commit
fixes this by disabling future and cancelling all inflight delayed
refill works before calling napi_disabled() in virtnet_xdp_set.

Fixes: 4941d472bf95 ("virtio-net: do not reset during XDP set")

AFAICS at this point refill_work() could still be running, why don't you
need to call flush_delayed_work()?

@Jason: somewhat related, why virtnet_close() does not use
flush_delayed_work(), too?

Thanks,

AFAIK, the cancel_delayed_work_sync (this is a synchronous version) 
provides somewhat stronger guarantee than the flush_delayed_work. 
Internally, the cancel_delayed_work_sync will also call to __flush_work. 
The cancel_delayed_work_sync temporarily disables the work before 
calling __flush_work, so that even if refill_work tries to re-queue 
itself, that re-queue will fail. As the refill_work can actually 
re-queue itself, I think we must use cancel_delayed_work_sync here.

Thanks,
Quang Minh.

While doing some testing, it look likes that we must call try_fill_recv 
to resume the rx path. I'll do more testing and send a new v2 patch.

I've sent a new patch here: 
https://lore.kernel.org/virtualization/20250404093903.37416-1-minhquangbui99@gmail.com/T/#u. 
As the commit title has changed a little bit, I don't use v2 tag.

Thank you,
Quang Minh.
