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

igb: clean up in all error paths when enabling SR-IOV

After commit 50f303496d92 ("igb: Enable SR-IOV after reinit"), removing the igb module could hang or crash (depending on the machine) when the module has been loaded with the max_vfs parameter set to some value != 0.

In case of one test machine with a dual port 82580, this hang occurred:

The reproducer was a simple script:

#!/bin/sh for i in seq 1 5; do modprobe -rv igb modprobe -v igb max_vfs=1 sleep 1 modprobe -rv igb done

It turned out that this could only be reproduce on 82580 (quad and dual-port), but not on 82576, i350 and i210. Further debugging showed that igb_enable_sriov()'s call to pci_enable_sriov() is failing, because dev->is_physfn is 0 on 82580.

Prior to commit 50f303496d92 ("igb: Enable SR-IOV after reinit"), igb_enable_sriov() jumped into the "err_out" cleanup branch. After this commit it only returned the error code.

So the cleanup didn't take place, and the incorrect VF setup in the igb_adapter structure fooled the igb driver into assuming that VFs have been set up where no VF actually existed.

Fix this problem by cleaning up again if pci_enable_sriov() fails.
