    net: disable netpoll on fresh napis · 96e97bc0
    Jakub Kicinski authored
    napi_disable() makes sure to set the NAPI_STATE_NPSVC bit to prevent
    netpoll from accessing rings before init is complete. However, the
    same is not done for fresh napi instances in netif_napi_add(),
    even though we expect NAPI instances to be added as disabled.
    
    This causes crashes during driver reconfiguration (enabling XDP,
    changing the channel count) - if there is any printk() after
    netif_napi_add() but before napi_enable().
    
    To ensure memory ordering is correct we need to use RCU accessors.
