I had tried with Stephen's patch but after stop is done and when we
call start it crashed at vmxnet3_dev_start()->
vmxnet3_dev_rxtx_init()->vmxnet3_post_rx_bufs() as buf_info is freed
and is not allocated again. buf_info is allocated in
vmxnet3_dev_rx_queue_setup() which would be called once at the
initialization only.
I also tried not freeing buf_info in stop but then i see different
issue after start, packets are not received due to check
while (rcd->gen == rxq->comp_ring.gen) {
in vmxnet3_recv_pkts()

Waterman, Have you got chance to test stop and start of vmnet dev if
so did you notice any issue similar to this?

Thanks
Navakanth
