Sorry for being unclear, I was referring to !VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS.
I do not see why do we need to bother re-reading settings in this case at all,
status is not there, nothing much changes.

only at the grammar level.
you don't see the difference?

        /* Make sure refill_work doesn't re-enable napi! */
        cancel_delayed_work_sync(&vi->refill);

it explains why we cancel: to avoid re-enabling napi.

why do you cancel config callback and work?
comment should say that.

no, this just repeats what code does.
explain why you cancel it.
