Well virtnet_xdp_xmit seems to be called from .ndo_xdp_xmit and that isn't in an RCU read-side critical section. Looks like we just need to add RCU read lock/unlock. Like the below perhaps? This issue was introduced by 8dcc5b0ab0 however I find it inelegant that we need to do checks in each driver, and add RCU locks just for a startup initialization issue. Can't XDP core make sure the callback isn't invoked at an inappropriate time instead? ---> virtio_net: call virtnet_xdp_xmit with RCU lock This functions uses rcu_dereference so it needs to be called in an RCU read-side critical section.
