+Subject: [PATCH net] net: korina: Fix NAPI versus resources freeing
+
+Commit beb0babfb77e ("korina: disable napi on close and restart")
+introduced calls to napi_disable() that were missing before,
+unfortunately this leaves a small window during which NAPI has a chance
+to run, yet we just freed resources since korina_free_ring() has been
+called:
+
+Fix this by disabling NAPI first then freeing resource, and make sure
+that we also cancel the restart taks before doing the resource freeing.
