In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sfc: fix deadlock in RSS config read Since cited commit, core locks the net_device's rss_lock when handling ethtool -x command, so driver's implementation should not lock it again. Remove the latter. A deadlock vulnerability was found in the Solarflare (sfc) network driver. When reading RSS configuration via ethtool -x, the driver attempts to acquire the rss_lock that is already held by the networking core, causing a deadlock and system hang.
