Then netvsc_sc_open() -> napi_enable will clear the\nNAPIF_STATE_SCHED bit, so it can be scheduled. napi_disable() does the\nopposite.\n\nNow during netvsc_device_remove(), when napi_disable is called for those\nsubchannels, napi_disable gets stuck on infinite msleep.\n\nThis fix addresses this problem by ensuring that napi_disable() is not\ngetting called for non-enabled NAPI struct.\nBut netif_napi_del() is still necessary for these non-enabled NAPI struct\nfor cleanup purpose.\n\nCall trace:\n[  654.559417] task:modprobe        state:D stack:    0 pid: 2321 ppid:  1091 flags:0x00004002\n[  654.568030] Call Trace:\n[  654.571221]  <TASK>\n[  654.573790]  __schedule+0x2d6/0x960\n[  654.577733]  schedule+0x69/0xf0\n[  654.581214]  schedule_timeout+0x87/0x140\n[  654.585463]  ? __bpf_trace_tick_stop+0x20/0x20\n[  654.590291]  msleep+0x2d/0x40\n[  654.593625]  napi_disable+0x2b/0x80\n[  654.597437]  netvsc_device_remove+0x8a/0x1f0 [hv_netvsc]\n[  654.603935]  rndis_filter_device_remove+0x194/0x1c0 [hv_netvsc]\n[  654.611101]  ? do_wait_intr+0xb0/0xb0\n[  654.615753]  netvsc_remove+0x7c/0x120 [hv_netvsc]\n[  654.621675]  vmbus_remove+0x27/0x40 [hv_vmbus]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":4.7},"cwes":["CWE-362"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e8875de9dad12805ff66e92cd5edea6a421f1cd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/22a77c0f5b8233237731df3288d067af51a2fd7b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/48a8ccccffbae10c91d31fc872db5c31aba07518","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7656372ae190e54e8c8cf1039725a5ea59fdf84a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ec807e7b6f5fcf9499f3baa69f254bb239a847f"],"products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:47:51.568503435+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-26698","score":0.00183,"percentile":0.07856,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
