A common pattern for device reset is currently: vdev->config->reset(vdev); .. cleanup .. reset prevents new interrupts from arriving and waits for interrupt handlers to finish. However if - as is common - the handler queues a work request which is flushed during the cleanup stage, we have code adding buffers / trying to get buffers while device is reset. Not good. This was reproduced by running modprobe virtio_console modprobe -r virtio_console in a loop. Fix this up by calling virtio_break_device + flush before reset.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
