How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 kernel-zfcpdump-modules to version 0:4.18.0-425.3.1.el8 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-modules package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-modules package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ath11k: fix netdev open race

Make sure to allocate resources needed before registering the device.

This specifically avoids having a racing open() trigger a BUG_ON() in mod_timer() when ath11k_mac_op_start() is called before the mon_reap_timer as been set up.

I did not see this issue with next-20220310, but I hit it on every probe with next-20220511. Perhaps some timing changed in between.

Here's the backtrace:
