Subject: [PATCH net] virtio-net: disable NAPI only when enabled during XDP set

We try to disable NAPI to prevent a single XDP TX queue being used by
multiple cpus. But we don't check if device is up (NAPI is enabled),
this could result stall because of infinite wait in
napi_disable(). Fixing this by checking device state through
netif_running() before.

Fixes: 4941d472bf95b ("virtio-net: do not reset during XDP set")

Yes, mis-paired NAPI enable/disable are really a pain.

Probably, we can do something in the interfaces or mechanisms to make
this less error prone and less fragile.

Anyways, applied and queued up for -stable, thanks!

I just hit a similar bug in ath10k. It seems like napi has plenty
of free bit flags so it could keep track of 'is-enabled' state and
allow someone to call napi_disable multiple times w/out deadlocking.

Thanks,
Ben
