  Microsoft has identified a multiple-NIC-deadlock issue on Hyper-V VMs.  This 
bug is fixed by the following commit, which is in mainline as of v4.20-rc6:
  37c2578c0c40 ("Drivers: hv: vmbus: Offload the handling of channels to two 
workqueues")
  
  A second commit is also needed to prevent a deadlock with single NIC VMs.  
This commit is in mainline as of 4.19-rc3:
  e04e7a7bbd4b ("hv_netvsc: Fix a deadlock by getting rtnl lock earlier in 
netvsc_probe()")
  
  The Disco development release has been rebased to upstream 4.19,  and it
  already has commit eceb0596548.  Disco only needs 37c2578c0c40.
