commit 51b813176f098ff61bd2833f627f5319ead098a5 upstream. Commit 25266128fe16 ("virtio-net: fix race between set queues and probe") tries to fix the race between set queues and probe by calling _virtnet_set_queues() before DRIVER_OK is set. This violates virtio spec. Fixing this by setting queues after virtio_device_ready(). Note that rtnl needs to be held for userspace requests to change the number of queues. So we are serialized in this way. Fixes: 25266128fe16 ("virtio-net: fix race between set queues and probe") Reported-by: Dragos Tatulea <dtatulea@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
