Although the network interface is down, the RX packets number which
could be observed by ifconfig may keep on increasing.

This is because the WORK scheduled in netvsc_set_multicast_list()
may be executed after netvsc_close(). That means the rndis filter
may be re-enabled by do_set_multicast() even if it was closed by
netvsc_close().

By canceling possible WORK before close the rndis filter, the issue
could be never happened.

da24e906cbfc08171d24a2b7cf66fad565fdd121 19-Mar-2012 Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> net/hyperv: Fix the code handling tx busy

Instead of dropping the packet, we keep the skb buffer, and return
NETDEV_TX_BUSY to let upper layer retry send. This will not cause
endless loop, because the host is taking data away from ring buffer,
and we have called the stop_queue before returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY.

The stop_queue was called in the function netvsc_send() in file
netvsc.c, then it returns to rndis_filter_send(), which returns to
netvsc_start_xmit() in file netvsc_drv.c. So the NETDEV_TX_BUSY is
indeed returned AFTER queue is stopped.

A driver start_xmit() method cannot free skb and return NETDEV_TX_BUSY,
since caller is going to reuse freed skb.

This is mostly a revert of commit bf769375c (staging: hv: fix the return
status of netvsc_start_xmit())

In fact netif_tx_stop_queue() / netif_stop_queue() is needed before
returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or you can trigger a ksoftirqd fatal loop.

In case of memory allocation error, only safe way is to drop the packet
and return NETDEV_TX_OK

1d06825b0ede541f63b5577435abd2fc649a9b5e 02-Dec-2011 Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> net/hyperv: Fix the stop/wake queue mechanism

The ring buffer is only used to pass meta data for outbound packets. The
actual payload is accessed by DMA from the host. So the stop/wake queue
mechanism based on counting and comparing number of pages sent v.s. number
of pages in the ring buffer is wrong. Also, there is a race condition in
the stop/wake queue calls, which can stop xmit queue forever.

The new stop/wake queue mechanism is based on the actual bytes used by
outbound packets in the ring buffer. The check for number of outstanding
sends after stop queue prevents the race condition that can cause wake
queue happening earlier than stop queue.
