From 6463a4571ceefc43908df4b016d8d5d8b8e85357 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2017 12:47:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vmbus: re-enable channel tasklet This problem shows up in 4.11 when netvsc driver is removed and reloaded. The problem is that the channel is closed during module removal and the tasklet for processing responses is disabled. When module is reloaded the channel is reopened but the tasklet is marked as disabled. The fix is to re-enable tasklet at the end of close which gets it back to the initial state. The issue is less urgent in 4.12 since network driver now uses NAPI and not the tasklet; and other VMBUS devices are rarely unloaded/reloaded.
