I will try.

There is another thing that I want to discuss. I notice that
netif_device_detach() should result in setting __QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF if
the network interface is running. By calling netif_tx_disable() after
netif_device_detach(), isn't it redundant in case of the network
interface is running? If the goal is to serialize tx routine, would
netif_tx_lock() and net_tx_unlock() are more appropriate? Like this:

netif_tx_lock(vi->dev);
netif_device_detach(vi->dev);
netif_tx_unlock(vi->dev);

Currently, netif_tx_disable() seems to disturb the symmetry of
netif_device_detach() and netif_device_attach(). That is the reason
why you can reproduce the problem when the interface is down before
suspending.
