      <title>CVE-2026-97411 — net: ibm: emac: mal: fix potential system hang in mal_remove()</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-97411</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: ibm: emac: mal: fix potential system hang in mal_remove()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;napi_disable() is not idempotent and calling it on an already-disabled
or unenabled NAPI context will cause the kernel to spin indefinitely
waiting for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit to clear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In mal_remove(), napi_disable() is called unconditionally. If no MACs were
registered, NAPI was never enabled. Also, if they were registered but
subsequently unregistered, NAPI was already disabled in
mal_unregister_commac(). In either case, calling napi_disable() causes
the kernel to hang upon module removal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix this by only calling napi_disable() in mal_remove() if the commac list
is not empty (which implies NAPI is enabled).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
