CVE-2024-56649 — net: enetc: Do not configure preemptible TCs if SIs do not support

Affected: Linux

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

net: enetc: Do not configure preemptible TCs if SIs do not support

Both ENETC PF and VF drivers share enetc_setup_tc_mqprio() to configure MQPRIO. And enetc_setup_tc_mqprio() calls enetc_change_preemptible_tcs() to configure preemptible TCs. However, only PF is able to configure preemptible TCs. Because only PF has related registers, while VF does not have these registers. So for VF, its hw->port pointer is NULL. Therefore, VF will access an invalid pointer when accessing a non-existent register, which will cause a crash issue. The simplified log is as follows.
