Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:02:56 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sfc: fix considering that all channels have TX queues

Normally, all channels have RX and TX queues, but this is not true if
modparam efx_separate_tx_channels=1 is used. In that cases, some
channels only have RX queues and others only TX queues (or more
preciselly, they have them allocated, but not initialized).

Fix efx_channel_has_tx_queues to return the correct value for this case
too.
