Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ice: fix Tx scheduler error handling in XDP callback<br />
<br />
When the XDP program is loaded, the XDP callback adds new Tx queues.<br />
This means that the callback must update the Tx scheduler with the new<br />
queue number. In the event of a Tx scheduler failure, the XDP callback<br />
should also fail and roll back any changes previously made for XDP<br />
preparation.<br />
<br />
The previous implementation had a bug that not all changes made by the<br />
XDP callback were rolled back. This caused the crash with the following<br />

<br />
Fix this by performing the missing unmapping of XDP queues from<br />
q_vectors and setting the XDP rings pointer back to NULL after all those<br />
queues are released.<br />
Also, add an immediate exit from the XDP callback in case of ring<br />
preparation failure.
