From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f6f13c125e05603f68f5bf31f045b95e6d493598 upstream. When netvsc_attach() is called by operations like changing MTU, etc., an extra wakeup may happen while netvsc_attach() calling rndis_filter_device_add() which sends rndis messages when queue is stopped in netvsc_detach(). The completion message will wake up queue 0. We can reproduce the issue by changing MTU etc., then the wake_queue counter from "ethtool -S" will increase beyond stop_queue counter: stop_queue: 0 wake_queue: 1 The issue causes queue wake up, and counter increment, no other ill effects in current code. So we didn't see any network problem for now. To fix this, initialize tx_disable to true, and set it to false when the NIC is ready to be attached or registered.
