CVE-2021-47517

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

ethtool: do not perform operations on net devices being unregistered

There is a short period between a net device starts to be unregistered
and when it is actually gone. In that time frame ethtool operations
could still be performed, which might end up in unwanted or undefined
behaviours[1].

Do not allow ethtool operations after a net device starts its
unregistration. This patch targets the netlink part as the ioctl one
isn't affected: the reference to the net device is taken and the
operation is executed within an rtnl lock section and the net device
won't be found after unregister.

[1] For example adding Tx queues after unregister ends up in NULL
    pointer exceptions and UaFs, such as:
