NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-modules package and not the kernel-rt-modules package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.

Once hns3_nic_net_open() is excute success, the flag HNS3_NIC_STATE_DOWN will be cleared. So add checking for this flag, directly return when HNS3_NIC_STATE_DOWN is no set.
