The original upstream bug fix was:

commit 3161e453e496eb5643faad30fff5a5ab183da0fe
Author: Rusty Russell <email address hidden>
Date: Wed Aug 26 12:22:32 2009 -0700

    virtio: net refill on out-of-memory

which was included in Linux 2.6.31.

However, another fix was needed on top of that:

commit 39d321577405e8e269fd238b278aaf2425fa788a
Author: Herbert Xu <email address hidden>
Date: Mon Jan 25 15:51:01 2010 -0800

    virtio_net: Make delayed refill more reliable"

The latter commit didn't make it into 2.6.32.
