Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: Fix Kernel Panic during ndo_tx_timeout callback
The Xeon validation group has been carrying out some loaded tests
with various HW configurations, and they have seen some transmit
queue time out happening during the test. This will cause the
reset adapter function to be called by igc_tx_timeout().
Similar race conditions may arise when the interface is being brought
down and up in igc_reinit_locked(), an interrupt being generated, and
igc_clean_tx_irq() being called to complete the TX.
When the igc_tx_timeout() function is invoked, this patch will turn
off all TX ring HW queues during igc_down() process. TX ring HW queues
will be activated again during the igc_configure_tx_ring() process
when performing the igc_up() procedure later.
This patch also moved existing igc_disable_tx_ring_hw() to avoid using
forward declaration.
