[PATCH 4.8 02/45] virtio-net: add a missing synchronize_net()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 963abe5c8a0273a1cf5913556da1b1189de0e57a ]

It seems many drivers do not respect napi_hash_del() contract.

When napi_hash_del() is used before netif_napi_del(), an RCU grace
period is needed before freeing NAPI object.
