Tsirkin says: ==================== Jason Wang reported a race in RX VQ processing: virtqueue_enable_cb is called outside napi lock, violating virtio serialization rules. The race has been there from day 1, but it got especially nasty in 3.0 when commit a5c262c5fd83ece01bd649fb08416c501d4c59d7 "virtio_ring: support event idx feature" added more dependency on vq state. Please review, and consider for 3.11 and stable. Changes from v1: - Added Jason's Tested-by tag - minor coding style fix ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
