Descriptions

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

net: fec: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid deadlocks

There is a deadlock issue found in sungem driver, please refer to the
commit ac0a230f719b ("eth: sungem: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid
deadlocks"). The root cause of the issue is that netpoll is in atomic
context and disable_irq() is called by .ndo_poll_controller interface
of sungem driver, however, disable_irq() might sleep. After analyzing
the implementation of fec_poll_controller(), the fec driver should have
the same issue. Due to the fec driver uses NAPI for TX completions, the
.ndo_poll_controller is unnecessary to be implemented in the fec driver,
so fec_poll_controller() can be safely removed.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: fec: elimine .ndo_poll_controller para evitar interbloqueos. Se encontró un problema de interbloqueo en el controlador sungem; consulte el commit ac0a230f719b ("eth: sungem: elimine .ndo_poll_controller para evitar interbloqueos "). La causa principal del problema es que netpoll está en un contexto atómico y la interfaz .ndo_poll_controller del controlador sungem llama a enable_irq(); sin embargo, enable_irq() puede estar inactivo. Después de analizar la implementación de fec_poll_controller(), el controlador fec debería tener el mismo problema. Debido a que el controlador fec utiliza NAPI para las completaciones de TX, no es necesario implementar .ndo_poll_controller en el controlador fec, por lo que fec_poll_controller() se puede eliminar de forma segura.
