Subject: Re: [PATCH net, 1/2] hyperv: Fix a kernel warning from netvsc_linkstatus_callback()

2013/4/5 Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@...rosoft.com>:
> The warning about local_bh_enable inside IRQ happens when disconnecting a

> The reason for the warning is -- netif_tx_disable() is called when the NIC

> local_bh_enable() which displays warning if in irq.

> The fix is to remove the unnecessary netif_tx_disable & wake_queue() in the

This should also go to the stable tree, shouldn't it ?
At least 3.8, 3.7 and 3.4 (the 3.2 version is different, and it's in
staging. (at not used by distros anyway))
