In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hns3: fix a deadlock problem when config TC during resetting When config TC during the reset process, may cause a deadlock, the flow is as below: pf reset start ? ? ...... setup tc ? ? ? ? DOWN: napi_disable() napi_disable()(skip) ? ? ? ? ? ...... ...... ? ? ? ? napi_enable() ? ? UINIT: netif_napi_del() ? ? ...... ? ? INIT: netif_napi_add() ? ? ...... global reset start ? ? ? ? UP: napi_enable()(skip) ...... ? ? ? ? ...... napi_disable() In reset process, the driver will DOWN the port and then UINIT, in this case, the setup tc process will UP the port before UINIT, so cause the problem. Adds a DOWN process in UINIT to fix it.
