In the current design, we stop the device from operating on the vring during per-queue reset by resetting the structure VirtQueue.
But before the reset operation, when recycling some resources, we should stop referencing new vring resources. This bug is caused by this reason. https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1451 Before we reset the structure, we called the ->queue_reset callback to let the device reclaim resources. Here virtio-net tries to release the packets sent asynchronously, but during this process virtio_net_flush_tx() will be called, and new data will be sent again. This leads to asserted. assert(!virtio_net_get_subqueue(nc)->async_tx.elem); v2: 1. fix by stop flush inside virtio_net_tx_complete() when purge packets. v1: 1. rename "reset" to disabled_by_reset 2. add api: virtio_queue_reset_state() Xuan Zhuo (2): virtio_net: virtio_net_tx_complete() stop flush new packets for purge operation virtio_net: just purge tx when dev/queue reset hw/net/virtio-net.c | 34 +++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- 2.32.0.3.g01195cf9f
