Hi stable maintainers,

Could you please consider applying the following patch to stable trees? In particular, I think this is needed for 3.18 or later.

274b045509175db0405c784be85e8cce116e6f7d net/xen-netfront: only napi_synchronize() if running

Without this commit, we found that a migrated Linux guest could go into an infinite loop at boot. We confirmed that the issue went away with v4.1.6 + the commit.

Now applied, thanks.

Looks like this commit could also be applied to the 3.16 kernel. I'm queuing it for the next release.

Cheers,
