"distros"? Huh? You mean kernel versions right?
And this doesn't matter for the current kernel, right? If not, then it
doesn't need to be appl
netif_notify_peers() is not allowed in netvsc_linkstatus_callback() on some
distros, because netvsc_linkstatus_callback() is within IRQ context. So we
move the first call to netif_notify_peers() into queued work as well, but with
zero delay.
This should also be back-ported to stable kernels 2.6.32
