With the implementation of napi-tx in virtio driver, we clean tx

because we have done the work in the previous rx interrupt handler.
This could lead to the following warning msg:

This patch adds a new param to struct vring_virtqueue, and we set it for
tx virtqueues if napi-tx is enabled, to suppress the warning in such
case.

Will do. Sorry about that. I suggested just the virtualization list, my bad.

Do we need to force the ordering between steal set and napi enable?
The warning only occurs after one hundred spurious interrupts, so not
really.
Ok, so it looks like a hint. Then I wonder how much value do we need to
introduce helper like virtqueue_set_work_steal() that allows the caller
to toggle. How about disable the check forever during virtqueue
initialization?
Yes, that is even simpler.
We still need the helper, as the internal variables of vring_virtqueue
are not accessible from virtio-net. An earlier patch added the
variable to virtqueue itself, but I think it belongs in
vring_virtqueue. And the helper is not a lot of code.
It's better to do this before the allocating the irq. But it looks not
easy unless we extend find_vqs().
Thanks
