In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_net: correct netdev_tx_reset_queue() invocation point
When virtnet_close is followed by virtnet_open, some TX completions can possibly remain unconsumed, until they are finally processed during the first NAPI poll after the netdev_tx_reset_queue(), resulting in a crash [1]. Commit b96ed2c97c79 ("virtio_net: move netdev_tx_reset_queue() call before RX napi enable") was not sufficient to eliminate all BQL crash cases for virtio-net.
This issue can be reproduced with the latest net-next master by running:
while :; do ip l set DEV down; ip l set DEV up; done under heavy network
TX load from inside the machine.
netdev_tx_reset_queue() can actually be dropped from virtnet_open path; the device is not stopped in any case. For BQL core part, it's just like traffic nearly ceases to exist for some period. For stall detector added to BQL, even if virtnet_close could somehow lead to some TX completions delayed for lon
