commit 713a98d90c5e ("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset")
disabled the virtio tx before going to suspend to avoid a use after free.
However, after resuming, it causes the virtio_net device to lose its
network connectivity.

To solve the issue, we need to enable tx after resuming.

Fixes commit 713a98d90c5e ("virtio-net: serialize tx routine during
reset")

I believe this is duplicated with netif_tx_wake_all_queues() in
netif_device_attach() above?
Thank you for your review.

If both netif_tx_wake_all_queues() and netif_start_queue() result in
clearing __QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF, then is it possible that some
conditions in netif_device_attach() is not satisfied?
Yes, maybe. One case I can see now is when the device is down, in this 
case netif_device_attach() won't try to wakeup the queue.
  Without
netif_start_queue(), the virtio_net device does not resume properly
after waking up.
How do you trigger the issue? Just do suspend/resume?
Is it better to report this as a bug first?
Nope, you're very welcome to post patch directly.
If I am to do more
investigation, what areas should I look into?
As you've figured out, you can start with why netif_tx_wake_all_queues() 
were not executed?

(Btw, does the issue disappear if you move netif_tx_disable() under the 
check of netif_running() in virtnet_freeze_down()?)

Thanks
