virtio-net: don't re-enable refill work too early when NAPI is disabled
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2115252
[ Upstream commit 1e20324b23f0afba27997434fb978f1e4a1dbcb6 ]
Commit 4bc12818b363 ("virtio-net: disable delayed refill when pausing rx")
fixed a deadlock between reconfig paths and refill work trying to disable
the same NAPI instance. The refill work can't run in parallel with reconfig
because trying to double-disable a NAPI instance causes a stall under the
instance lock, which the reconfig path needs to re-enable the NAPI and
therefore unblock the stalled thread.
There are two cases where we re-enable refill too early. One is in the
virtnet_set_queues() handler. We call it when installing XDP:
virtnet_rx_pause_all(vi);
...
virtnet_napi_tx_disable(..);
...
virtnet_set_queues(..);
...
virtnet_rx_resume_all(..);
We want the work to be disabled until we call virtnet_rx_resume_all(),
but virtnet_set_queues() kicks it before NAPIs were re-enabled.
The other case is a more trivial case of mis-ordering in
__virtnet_rx_resume() found by code inspection.
Taking the spin lock in virtnet_set_queues() (requested during review)
may be unnecessary as we are under rtnl_lock and so are all paths writing
to ->refill_enabled.
