The following seems to hang the device on the next virtnet_send_command()
I expected this to meet the reset requirements from the spec because I
believe its the same flow coming out of restore(). For a real patch we
don't actually need to kfree all the structs and reallocate them but
I was expecting the below to work. Any ideas/hints?
static int virtnet_xdp_reset(struct virtnet_info *vi)
{
int i, ret;
netif_device_detach(vi->dev);
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&vi->refill);
if (netif_running(vi->dev)) {
for (i = 0; i < vi->max_queue_pairs; i++)
napi_disable(&vi->rq[i].napi);
}
remove_vq_common(vi, false);
ret = init_vqs(vi);
if (ret)
return ret;
virtio_device_ready(vi->vdev);
if (netif_running(vi->dev)) {
for (i = 0; i < vi->curr_queue_pairs; i++)
if (!try_fill_recv(vi, &vi->rq[i], GFP_KERNEL))
schedule_delayed_work(&vi->refill, 0);
for (i = 0; i < vi->max_queue_pairs; i++)
virtnet_napi_enable(&vi->rq[i]);
}
netif_device_attach(vi->dev);
return 0;
}
