[ Upstream commit 4477138fa0ae4e1b699786ef0600863ea6e6c61c ]
Same reasons than the ones explained in commit 4179cb5a4c92
("vxlan: test dev->flags & IFF_UP before calling netif_rx()")
netif_rx_ni() or napi_gro_frags() 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.
A similar protocol is used for gro layer.
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.
Fixes: 1bd4978a ("tun: honor IFF_UP in tun_get_user()")
