Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ice: add missing ice_deinit_hw() in devlink reinit path<br /> <br /> devlink-reload results in ice_init_hw failed error, and then removing<br /> the ice driver causes a NULL pointer dereference.<br /> <br /> [ +0.102213] ice 0000:ca:00.0: ice_init_hw failed: -16<br /> ...<br /> [ +0.000001] Call Trace:<br /> [ +0.000003] <br /> [ +0.000006] ice_unload+0x8f/0x100 [ice]<br /> [ +0.000081] ice_remove+0xba/0x300 [ice]<br /> <br /> Commit 1390b8b3d2be ("ice: remove duplicate call to ice_deinit_hw() on<br /> error paths") removed ice_deinit_hw() from ice_deinit_dev(). As a result<br /> ice_devlink_reinit_down() no longer calls ice_deinit_hw(), but<br /> ice_devlink_reinit_up() still calls ice_init_hw(). Since the control<br /> queues are not uninitialized, ice_init_hw() fails with -EBUSY.<br /> <br /> Add ice_deinit_hw() to ice_devlink_reinit_down() to correspond with<br /> ice_init_hw() in ice_devlink_reinit_up().
