vio: Fix signal handling and locking in sysctl path
Commits f0b002d01d5 "Release the netlock when sleeping for control messages in in vioioctl()" and 126b881f71 "Insert a workaround for per-ifp ioctl being called w/o NET_LOCK()." in vio(4) fixed a deadlock but may cause a crash with a protection fault trap if addresses are added/removed concurrently. The actual issue is that signals are not handled correctly while sleeping. After a signal, there is a race condition where sc_ctrl_inuse is first set to FREE and then the interrupt handler sets it to DONE, causing a hang in the next vio_wait_ctrl() call. To fix it: * Revert the NET_LOCK unlocking work-around. * Remove PCATCH from the sleep call when we wait for control queue, avoiding the race with vio_ctrleof(). To ensure that we don't hang forever, use a 5 second timeout. * If the timeout is hit, or if the hypervisor has set the DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET status bit, do not try to use the control queue until the next ifconfig down/up which resets the device. * In order to allow reading the device status from device drivers, add a new interface to the virtio transport drivers. * Avoid a crash if there is outgoing traffic while doing ifconfig down.
