In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: avoid kernel warning when changing RX ring parameters
Calling ethtool changing the RX ring parameters like this:
$ ethtool -G eth0 rx 1024
on igc triggers kernel warnings like this:
[ 225.198467] ------------[ cut here ]------------

igc_ethtool_set_ringparam() copies the igc_ring structure but neglects to
reset the xdp_rxq_info member before calling igc_setup_rx_resources().
This in turn calls xdp_rxq_info_reg() with an already registered xdp_rxq_info.
Make sure to unregister the xdp_rxq_info structure first in
igc_setup_rx_resources.
