When virtnet_close is followed by virtnet_open, some TX completions can possibly remain unconsumed, until they are finally processed during the first NAPI poll after the netdev_tx_reset_queue(), resulting in a crash [1]. Commit b96ed2c97c79 ("virtio_net: move netdev_tx_reset_queue() call before RX napi enable") was not sufficient to eliminate all BQL crash cases for virtio-net.
This issue can be reproduced with the latest net-next master by running: `while :; do ip l set DEV down; ip l set DEV up; done` under heavy network TX load from inside the machine.
This patch series resolves the issue and also addresses similar existing problems:
(a). Drop netdev_tx_reset_queue() from open/close path. This eliminates the BQL crashes due to the problematic open/close path.
(b). As a result of (a), netdev_tx_reset_queue() is now explicitly required in freeze/restore path. Add netdev_tx_reset_queue() to free_unused_bufs().
(c). Fix missing resetting in virtnet_tx_resize(). virtnet_tx_resize() has lacked proper resetting since commit c8bd1f7f3e61 ("virtio_net: add support for Byte Queue Limits").
(d). Fix missing resetting in the XDP_SETUP_XSK_POOL path. Similar to (c), this path lacked proper resetting. Call netdev_tx_reset_queue() when virtqueue_reset() has actually recycled unused buffers.
This patch series consists of five commits: [1/5]: Resolves (a) and (b). [2/5]: Prerequisite for (c). [3/5]: Resolves (c). [4/5]: Preresuisite for (d). [5/5]: Resolves (d).
Changes for v2: - add tx queue resetting for (b) to (d) above
