tap: crash in multi-thread environment
In tap tx routine, virtio_interface_tx_inline, there used to be an interface spinlock to ensure packets are processed in an orderly fashion clib_spinlock_lock_if_init (&vif->lockp); When virtio code was introduced in 19.04, that line is changed to clib_spinlock_lock_if_init (&vring->lockp); to accommodate multi-queues. Unfortunately, althrough the spinlock exists in the vring, it was never initialized for tap, only for virtio. As a result, many nasty things can happen when running tap interface in multi-thread environment. Crash is inevitable. The fix is to initialize vring->lockp for tap and remove vif->lockp as it is not used anymore. Change-Id: I82b15d3e9b0fb6add9b9ac49bf602a538946634a Signed-off-by: Mohsin Kazmi <sykazmi@cisco.com> (cherry picked from commit c2c89782d34df0dc7197b18b042b4c2464a101ef)
