Sorry!
Dave, can you take this instead:

xen-netback: fix race between napi_complete() and interrupt handler
When the NAPI budget was not all used, xenvif_poll() would call
napi_complete() /after/ enabling the interrupt. This resulted in a
race between the napi_complete() and the napi_schedule() in the
interrupt handler. The use of local_irq_save/restore() avoided by
race iff the handler is running on the same CPU but not if it was
running on a different CPU.
Fix this properly by calling napi_complete() before reenabling
interrupts (in the xenvif_napi_schedule_or_enable_irq() call).

v3:
- new name is xenvif_napi_schedule_or_enable_events().
v2:
- Rename xenvif_check_rx_xenvif() to
xenvif_napi_schedule_or_enable_irq() to make it more obvious what it
does.
