Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: tun: call napi_schedule_prep() to ensure we own a napi A recent patch exposed another issue in napi_get_frags()
caught by syzbot [1] Before feeding packets to GRO, and calling napi_complete()
we must first grab NAPI_STATE_SCHED. [1]
