    hv_netvsc: Fix a network regression after ifdown/ifup · 52acf73b
    Dexuan Cui authored
    Recently people reported the NIC stops working after
    "ifdown eth0; ifup eth0". It turns out in this case the TX queues are not
    enabled, after the refactoring of the common detach logic: when the NIC
    has sub-channels, usually we enable all the TX queues after all
    sub-channels are set up: see rndis_set_subchannel() ->
    netif_device_attach(), but in the case of "ifdown eth0; ifup eth0" where
    the number of channels doesn't change, we also must make sure the TX queues
    are enabled. The patch fixes the regression.
