+Subject: net: fix a race in gro_cell_poll()
+
+
+From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
+
+[ Upstream commit f8e8f97c11d5ff3cc47d85b97c7c35e443dcf490 ]
+
+Dmitry Kravkov reported packet drops for GRE packets since GRO support
+was added.
+
+There is a race in gro_cell_poll() because we call napi_complete()
+without any synchronization with a concurrent gro_cells_receive()
+
+Once bug was triggered, we queued packets but did not schedule NAPI
+poll.
+
+We can fix this issue using the spinlock protected the napi_skbs queue,
+as we have to hold it to perform skb dequeue anyway.
+
+As we open-code skb_dequeue(), we no longer need to mask IRQS, as both
+producer and consumer run under BH context.
+
+Bug added in commit c9e6bc644e (net: add gro_cells infrastructure)
