Subject: [PATCH 5.15 20/98] virtio-net: fix race between ndo_open() and virtio_device_ready()
From: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>
commit 50c0ada627f56c92f5953a8bf9158b045ad026a1 upstream.
We currently call virtio_device_ready() after netdev
registration. Since ndo_open() can be called immediately
after register_netdev, this means there exists a race between
ndo_open() and virtio_device_ready(): the driver may start to use the
device before DRIVER_OK which violates the spec.
Fix this by switching to use register_netdevice() and protect the
virtio_device_ready() with rtnl_lock() to make sure ndo_open() can
only be called after virtio_device_ready().
Fixes: 4baf1e33d0842 ("virtio_net: enable VQs early")
