From: Toshiaki Makita makita.toshiaki@lab.ntt.co.jp
[ Upstream commit fdaa767aefc1685f9a41e91f447c9aea94103df6 ]
Since commit 39e6c8208d7b ("net: solve a NAPI race") napi has been able to be rescheduled within napi_complete_done() even in non-busypoll case, but virtnet_poll() always enabled interrupts before complete, and when napi was rescheduled within napi_complete_done() it did not disable interrupts. This caused more interrupts when event idx is disabled.
According to commit cbdadbbf0c79 ("virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing") we cannot place virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare() after NAPI_STATE_SCHED is cleared, so disable interrupts again if napi_complete_done() returned false.
Tested with vhost-user of OVS 2.7 on host, which does not have the event idx feature.
