[ Upstream commit d71ebe8114b4bf622804b810f5e274069060a174 ] Commit a7766ef18b33("virtio_net: disable cb aggressively") enables virtqueue callback via the following statement: do { if (use_napi) virtqueue_disable_cb(sq->vq); free_old_xmit_skbs(sq, false); } while (use_napi && kick && unlikely(!virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed(sq->vq))); When NAPI is used and kick is false, the callback won't be enabled here. And when the virtqueue is about to be full, the tx will be disabled, but we still don't enable tx interrupt which will cause a TX hang. This could be observed when using pktgen with burst enabled. TO be consistent with the logic that tries to disable cb only for NAPI, fixing this by trying to enable delayed callback only when NAPI is enabled when the queue is about to be full.

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.
