Public bug reported:

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2127705

[Impact]

A race condition in the hv_netvsc module can lead to a lockup where the
RX queue of the network device becomes stuck, degrading the performance
for users of the Azure kernel.

[Fix]

The following fix was introduced in 6.17:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=9448ccd85336

Backport it to the P/N/J:azure trees (Questing already has it) in order
to fix the issue for users of the linux-azure kernel.

[Test plan]

Build tested only; Microsoft will validate the bug fix.

[Where problems could occur]

Issues with this patch could cause hangs, lockups or generally some kind
of network performance degradation for virtual machines running on top
of Hyper-V.
