[PATCH net 2/2] virtio_net: fix missing lock protection on control_buf access

From: Heng Qi <hidden>
Date: 2024-05-28 07:52:38
Also in: virtualization
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, virtio net driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

Refactored the handling of control_buf to be within the cvq_lock
critical section, mitigating race conditions between reading device
responses and new command submissions.

Fixes: 6f45ab3e0409 ("virtio_net: Add a lock for the command VQ.")
Signed-off-by: Heng Qi <redacted>
