Re: [PATCH net] virtio-net: disable NAPI only when enabled during XDP set

We try to disable NAPI to prevent a single XDP TX queue being used by
multiple cpus. But we don't check if device is up (NAPI is enabled),
this could result stall because of infinite wait in
napi_disable(). Fixing this by checking device state through
netif_running() before.

Yes, mis-paired NAPI enable/disable are really a pain.

Probably, we can do something in the interfaces or mechanisms to make
this less error prone and less fragile.

Anyways, applied and queued up for -stable, thanks!
