Details

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

ibmvnic: don't release napi in __ibmvnic_open()

If __ibmvnic_open() encounters an error such as when setting link state, it calls release_resources() which frees the napi structures needlessly. Instead, have __ibmvnic_open() only clean up the work it did so far (i.e. disable napi and irqs) and leave the rest to the callers.

If caller of __ibmvnic_open() is ibmvnic_open(), it should release the resources immediately. If the caller is do_reset() or do_hard_reset(), they will release the resources on the next reset.

This fixes following crash that occurred when running the drmgr command several times to add/remove a vnic interface:
