Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: netpoll: initialize work queue before error checks<br />
<br />
Prevent a kernel warning when netconsole setup fails on devices with<br />
IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL flag. The warning (at kernel/workqueue.c:4242 in<br />
__flush_work) occurs because the cleanup path tries to cancel an<br />
uninitialized work queue.<br />
<br />
When __netpoll_setup() encounters a device with IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL,<br />
it fails early and calls skb_pool_flush() for cleanup. This function<br />
calls cancel_work_sync(&np->refill_wq), but refill_wq hasn&#39;t been<br />
initialized yet, triggering the warning.<br />
<br />
Move INIT_WORK() to the beginning of __netpoll_setup(), ensuring the<br />
work queue is properly initialized before any potential failure points.<br />
This allows the cleanup path to safely cancel the work queue regardless<br />
of where the setup fails.
