[ Upstream commit 4179cb5a ] netif_rx() must be called under a strict contract. At device dismantle phase, core networking clears IFF_UP and flush_all_backlogs() is called after rcu grace period to make sure no incoming packet might be in a cpu backlog and still referencing the device. Most drivers call netif_rx() from their interrupt handler, and since the interrupts are disabled at device dismantle, netif_rx() does not have to check dev->flags & IFF_UP Virtual drivers do not have this guarantee, and must therefore make the check themselves. Otherwise we risk use-after-free and/or crashes. Note this patch also fixes a small issue that came with commit ce6502a8 ("vxlan: fix a use after free in vxlan_encap_bypass"), since the dev->stats.rx_dropped change was done on the wrong device.
