3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9b9cd8024a2882e896c65222aa421d461354e3f2 ] Commit 55257d72bd1c51f25106350f4983ec19f62ed1fa (virtio-net: fill only rx queues which are being used) tries to refill on demand when changing the number of channels by call try_refill_recv() directly, this may race: - the refill work who may do the refill in the same time - the try_refill_recv() called in bh since napi was not disabled Which may led guest complain during setting channels: virtio_net virtio0: input.1:id 0 is not a head! Solve this issue by scheduling a refill work which can guarantee the serialization of refill.
