Initialization must be completed before calling _vdpa_register_device() since it can connect the device to the vDPA bus, so requests can arrive after that call. So for example vdpasim_net_work(), which uses the net->*_stats variables, can be scheduled before they are initialized. Let's move _vdpa_register_device() to the end of vdpasim_net_dev_add() and add a comment to avoid future issues. Fixes: 0899774cb360 ("vdpa_sim_net: vendor satistics") Signed-off-by: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Notes: I don't have a reproducer, but I became aware of this problem while I was changing the buffer allocation. In the block device, as soon as the device is registered, the driver sends several requests, and I guess this might happen for the net device as well.
