Hello: This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main) by Jakub Kicinski [off-list ref]: On Mon, 25 Aug 2025 04:56:27 -0700 you wrote:
The hv_netvsc driver currently enables NAPI after opening the primary and subchannels. This ordering creates a race: if the Hyper-V host places data in the host -> guest ring buffer and signals the channel before napi_enable() has been called, the channel callback will run but napi_schedule_prep() will return false. As a result, the NAPI poller never gets scheduled, the data in the ring buffer is not consumed, and the receive queue may remain permanently stuck until another interrupt happens to arrive. [...]
Here is the summary with links:
