In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iavf: Fix hang during reboot/shutdown

Recent commit 974578017fc1 ("iavf: Add waiting so the port is
initialized in remove") adds a wait-loop at the beginning of
iavf_remove() to ensure that port initialization is finished
prior unregistering net device. This causes a regression
in reboot/shutdown scenario because in this case callback
iavf_shutdown() is called and this callback detaches the device,
makes it down if it is running and sets its state to __IAVF_REMOVE.
Later shutdown callback of associated PF driver (e.g. ice_shutdown)
is called. That callback calls among other things sriov_disable()
that calls indirectly iavf_remove() (see stack trace below).
As the adapter state is already __IAVF_REMOVE then the mentioned
loop is end-less and shutdown process hangs.

The patch fixes this by checking adapter's state at the beginning
of iavf_remove() and skips the rest of the function if the adapter
is already in remove state (shutdown is in progress).

Reproducer:
1. Create VF on PF driven by ice or i40e driver
2. Ensure that the VF is bound to iavf driver
3. Reboot

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: iavf: corrige el bloqueo durante el reinicio/apagado. El commit reciente 974578017fc1 ("iavf: agrega espera para que el puerto se inicialice en eliminar") agrega un bucle de espera al comienzo de iavf_remove() para garantizar que la inicialización del puerto finalice antes de cancelar el registro del dispositivo de red. Esto provoca una regresión en el escenario de reinicio/apagado porque en este caso se llama a la devolución de llamada iavf_shutdown() y esta devolución de llamada desconecta el dispositivo, lo desactiva si se está ejecutando y establece su estado en __IAVF_REMOVE. Posteriormente se llama a la devolución de llamada de apagado del controlador PF asociado (por ejemplo, ice_shutdown). Esa devolución de llamada llama, entre otras cosas, a sriov_disable() que llama indirectamente a iavf_remove() (consulte el seguimiento de la pila a continuación). Como el estado del adaptador ya es __IAVF_REMOVE, el bucle mencionado no tiene fin y el proceso de apagado se bloquea. El parche soluciona este problema verificando el estado del adaptador al comienzo de iavf_remove() y omite el resto de la función si el adaptador ya está en estado de eliminación (el apagado está en curso). Reproductor: 1. Cree VF en PF controlado por el controlador ice o i40e 2. Asegúrese de que el VF esté vinculado al controlador iavf 3.
