Use netif_queue_set_napi to map NAPIs to queue IDs so that the mapping
can be accessed by user apps, taking care to hold RTNL as needed.

I may miss something but I wonder whether letting the caller hold the
lock is better.

Hmm...

Double checking all the paths over again, here's what I see:
  - refill_work, delayed work that needs RTNL so this change seems
    right?

  - virtnet_disable_queue_pair, called from virtnet_open and
    virtnet_close. When called via NDO these are safe and hold RTNL,
    but they can be called from power management and need RTNL.

  - virtnet_enable_queue_pair called from virtnet_open, safe when
    used via NDO but needs RTNL when used via power management.

  - virtnet_rx_pause called in both paths as you mentioned, one
    which needs RTNL and one which doesn't.

I think there are a couple ways to fix this:

  1. Edit this patch to remove the virtnet_queue_set_napi helper,
     and call netif_queue_set_napi from the napi_enable and
     napi_disable helpers directly. Modify code calling into these
     paths to hold rtnl (or not) as described above.

  2. Modify virtnet_enable_queue_pair, virtnet_disable_queue_pair,
     and virtnet_rx_pause to take a "bool need_rtnl" as an a
     function argument and pass that through.

I'm not sure which is cleaner and I do not have a preference.

Can you let me know which you prefer? I am happy to implement either
one for the next revision.

During the resize, the rtnl lock has been held on the ethtool path

        rtnl_lock();
        rc = __dev_ethtool(net, ifr, useraddr, ethcmd, state);
        rtnl_unlock();

virtnet_rx_resize()
    virtnet_rx_pause()

and in the case of XSK binding, I see ASSERT_RTNL in xp_assign_dev() at least.

Thanks for catching this. I re-read all the paths and I think I've
outlined a few other issues above.

Please let me know which of the proposed methods above you'd like me
to implement to get this merged.

Thanks.
