Commit713a98d90c("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset") introduces netif_tx_disable() after netif_device_detach() in order to avoid use-after-free of tx queues. However, there are two issues. 1) Its operation is redundant with netif_device_detach() in case the interface is running. 2) In case of the interface is not running before suspending and resuming, the tx does not get resumed by netif_device_attach(). This results in losing network connectivity. It is better to use netif_tx_lock_bh()/netif_tx_unlock_bh() instead for serializing tx routine during reset. This also preserves the symmetry of netif_device_detach() and netif_device_attach().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
