Yes, we 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.
