Michael S. Tsirkin 4174152771 Revert "vhost/net: Defer TX queue re-enable until after sendmsg"
This reverts commit 8c2e6b26ff. It tries
to defer the notification enabling by moving the logic out of the loop
after the vhost_tx_batch() when nothing new is spotted. This will
bring side effects as the new logic would be reused for several other
error conditions.

One example is the IOTLB: when there's an IOTLB miss, get_tx_bufs()
might return -EAGAIN and exit the loop and see there's still available
buffers, so it will queue the tx work again until userspace feed the
IOTLB entry correctly. This will slowdown the tx processing and
trigger the TX watchdog in the guest as reported in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/9/10/1596.

To fix, revert the change. A follow up patch will bring the performance
back in a safe way.

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 reStructuredText 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.
