If the dim work is still running here, what prevents it from completing
after the following unregister/free netdev?

Yes, no one here is trying to stop it, the situation is like unregister/free netdev
when rss are being set, so I think this is ok.


It looks like you want need to call cancel_work_sync here?

In v4, Yinjun Zhang mentioned that _sync() can cause deadlock[1].
Therefore, cancel_work() is used here instead of cancel_work_sync() to avoid possible deadlock.

Additionally the later remove_vq_common() will needless call
cancel_work() again;

Yes. remove_vq_common() now does not call cancel_work().

possibly is better to consolidate a single (sync)
call there.

Do you mean add it in virtnet_freeze()?
cancel_work() has existed in the path virtnet_freeze() -> virtnet_freeze_down() -> virtnet_close().

Thanks!


Cheers,

Paolo
