[PATCH v4 2/3] virtio_pci_modern: move avq cleanup from reset to del_vqs
From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 06:32:01 EST
vp_modern_avq_cleanup() detaches unused buffers from the admin
virtqueue. Calling it from vp_reset() is incorrect:
virtqueue_get_buf in the avq interrupt handler can race with
virtqueue_detach_unused_buf in cleanup, and get_buf after
detach is not documented as valid.
The root cause is that detaching buffers does not belong in
reset at all - reset quiesces the device, while cleanup belongs
where the virtqueue is about to be destroyed, from del_vqs.

Notes (changelog):
v3->v4:
split patch 3: avq cleanup move is now a separate
patch from callback sync removal. Callback sync
removal (previously modern-only in patch 3) merged
with legacy removal into a single patch.
v2->v3:
new in v3
