[PATCH] hv_netvsc: Fix a network regression after ifdown/ifup

From: Dexuan Cui
Date: Wed Jun 06 2018 - 17:02:15 EST



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. The patch fixes
the regression.
