Thank you so much for quick and complete testing. Much appreciated!

I built and installed the latest kernel with this patchset in AWS and ran a network sanity check with iperf and all looks good.

Thank you for submitting this patch.
Can you please provide a commit message that explains this change.
For example questions that immediately arise:

1. What "newly exposed RSS hash key API" you are talking about (link to the commits that added this API)?
2. Why it is ok to remove the #ifdef RSS?
3. Why do you also remove the #ifdef RSS in ena_datapath.c?
4. How did you test the change?

Added default: clause to switch to handle case of illegal values set to force_large_llq_header

Fixed comments by cperciva@ I got via mail, since I accidentally turned comments off here:

The fix to this particular issue depends on the answers of the above (or can be a bandaid as in diff if we want to kick the can down the road).

Those are all good questions, but I think in this case our issue is that the ifnet goes away between the task being enqueued and executed. There are a number of other places where we see things like that, and that's the 'general problem' I was referring to.

Ack! I was looking into it from a different angle. The mental model of "safe detach" to me is a) set the demarcation point that signals "no more data accepted", b) ensure no data is indeed accepted and c) clear the queued data. I'm a bit unsure if we can or should generalise the implementations for the different datapaths and control plane. The current code mostly have everything implemented - IFF_DYING flag is set, marking the end of the era and the taskq is cleaned from the link tasks matching this interface. The remaining part is rejecting new changes.

We can indeed do an MPASS() check in the enqueue code to reject such code patterns if that's what we agree with.

What do you folks think?

So that seems like a sane general approach, but I'm not clear on how it'd work here. We'd have to make sure the ifp sticks around until the task queue no longer has any if_linktasks remaining, and I don't think we have a mechanism for that currently.

I think we have something in if.c:if_detach_internal() for that ( https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/net/if.c#n1145 ):

	/*
	 * In any case (destroy or vmove) detach us from the groups
	 * and remove/wait for pending events on the taskq.
	 * XXX-BZ in theory an interface could still enqueue a taskq change?
	 */
	if_delgroups(ifp);

	taskqueue_drain(taskqueue_swi, &ifp->if_linktask);
	taskqueue_drain(taskqueue_swi, &ifp->if_addmultitask);

So I still believe that the remaining part is to reject the new changes. Happy to discuss it more :-)
And anyway, @akiyano_amazon.com, I guess we need the driver to be updated to avoid setting the state when dying. Could you please look at that?

I do not quite understand this logic:

ena_detach()
  ether_ifdetach()
    if_detach()
      if_detach_internal()  # here we drain taskqueue_swi from link events
  ena_destroy_device()
    if_link_state_change()  # here we enqueue new link event

Why is ether_ifdetach() invoked before if_link_state_change() ???

As far as I understand, ena_destroy_device() is called in multiple places, including an init error handler, so it incorporates setting the link down. I think that it would make sense for the driver to move the link state change elsewhere, but I'd prefer to address the stack problem first.

I've tested this commit and it solves the issue.
Updated kernel and world to the latest main. => Issue reproduced.
Applied this fix to kernel sources, built and installed kernel => issue doesn't reproduce.

I don't have much experience with CARP, and I was wondering if anything obvious jumps out from this call stack with regard to this commit?

Thank you for the report!
I agree with the assessment, it's not carp related.
When the ifnet departure hook is called, indeed some stuff from the ifnet may have been already disappeared. I'll update the callback handler to use only basic interface info, that should be present till the end.
