[PATCH] net: usb: enable the work after stop usbnet by ip down/up
Posted by Jun Miao 7 months ago 
From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang@linux.dev>

Oleksij reported that:
The smsc95xx driver fails after one down/up cycle, like this:
 $ nmcli device set enu1u1 managed no
 $ p a a 10.10.10.1/24 dev enu1u1
 $ ping -c 4 10.10.10.3
 $ ip l s dev enu1u1 down
 $ ip l s dev enu1u1 up
 $ ping -c 4 10.10.10.3
The second ping does not reach the host. Networking also fails on other interfaces.

Enable the work by replacing the disable_work_sync() with cancel_work_sync().

[Jun Miao: completely write the commit changelog]
