It's unsafe to operate a vq from multiple threads.
Unfortunately this is exactly what we do when invoking
clean tx poll from rx napi.
Same happens with napi-tx even without the
opportunistic cleaning from the receive interrupt: that races
with processing the vq in start_xmit.

As a fix move everything that deals with the vq to under tx lock.

Fixes: b92f1e6751a6 ("virtio-net: transmit napi")

Interesting, this looks like somehwo a open-coded version of 
virtqueue_napi_complete(). I wonder if we can simply keep using 
virtqueue_napi_complete() by simply moving the __netif_tx_unlock() after 
that:

netif_tx_lock(txq);
free_old_xmit_skbs(sq, true);
virtqueue_napi_complete(napi, sq->vq, 0);
__netif_tx_unlock(txq);

Thanks

This patch also disables callbacks during free_old_xmit_skbs
processing on tx interrupt. Should that be a separate commit, with its
own explanation?

Should this also be inside the lock, as it operates on vq?

Is there anything that is not allowed to run with the lock held?

Agreed. And subsequent block

       if (sq->vq->num_free >= 2 + MAX_SKB_FRAGS)
               netif_tx_wake_queue(txq);

as well

No vq poll is ok outside of locks, it's atomic.

Yes I thought I saw something here that can't be called with tx lock
held but I no longer see it. Will do.
