>From 11fd997d724f520ca628615e7ffbfd7901c40b62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-ker...@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2015 13:28:38 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: Avoid possible kernel panic if DEBUG is enabled.
The virtqueue_add() calls START_USE() upon entry. The virtqueue_kick() is called if vq->num_added == (1 << 16) - 1 before calling END_USE(). The virtqueue_kick_prepare() called via virtqueue_kick() calls START_USE() upon entry, and will call panic() if DEBUG is enabled. Move this virtqueue_kick() call to after END_USE() call.
