Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-26 21:04:13 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: mana: Use pci_name() for debugfs directory naming

Use pci_name(pdev) for the per-device debugfs directory instead of
hardcoded "0" for PFs and pci_slot_name(pdev->slot) for VFs. The
previous approach had two issues:

1. pci_slot_name() dereferences pdev->slot, which can be NULL for VFs
   in environments like generic VFIO passthrough or nested KVM,
   causing a NULL pointer dereference.

2. Multiple PFs would all use "0", and VFs across different PCI
   domains or buses could share the same slot name, leading to
   -EEXIST errors from debugfs_create_dir().

pci_name(pdev) returns the unique BDF address, is always valid, and is
unique across the system.
