Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hns3: do not allow call hns3_nic_net_open repeatedly hns3_nic_net_open() is not allowed to called repeatly, but there is no checking for this. When doing device reset and setup tc concurrently, there is a small oppotunity to call hns3_nic_net_open repeatedly, and cause kernel bug by calling napi_enable twice. The calltrace information is like below: [ 3078.222780] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 3078.230255] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:6991!
