[ Upstream commit 59cbf56fcd98ba2a715b6e97c4e43f773f956393 ]
Same reasons than the ones explained in commit 4179cb5a4c92 ("vxlan: test dev->flags & IFF_UP before calling netif_rx()")
netif_rx() or gro_cells_receive() 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_cells infrastructure, as gro_cells_destroy() will be called only after a full rcu grace period is observed after IFF_UP has been cleared.
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.
