Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:EOL][EOL]hv_netvsc: Fix panic during namespace deletion with VF[EOL][EOL]The existing code move the VF NIC to new namespace when NETDEV_REGISTER is[EOL]received on netvsc NIC. During deletion of the namespace,[EOL]default_device_exit_batch() >> default_device_exit_net() is called. When[EOL]netvsc NIC is moved back and registered to the default namespace, it[EOL]automatically brings VF NIC back to the default namespace.
