net: prevent deadlocks when enabling NAPIs with mixed kthread config
The following order of calls currently deadlocks if:
- device has threaded=1; and
- NAPI has persistent config with threaded=0.
netif_napi_add_weight_config()
dev->threaded == 1
napi_kthread_create()
napi_enable()
napi_restore_config()
napi_set_threaded(0)
napi_stop_kthread()
while (NAPIF_STATE_SCHED)
msleep(20)
We deadlock because disabled NAPI has STATE_SCHED set.
Creating a thread in netif_napi_add() just to destroy it in
napi_disable() is fairly ugly in the first place. Let's read
both the device config and the NAPI config in netif_napi_add().
Fixes: e6d7626 ("net: Update threaded state in napi config in netif_set_threaded")
