Unused queues' napi will not be\nregistered by netif_napi_add(), so the .poll pointer indicates NULL.\nBut it couldn't distinguish whether the napi was unregistered or not\nbecause netif_napi_del() doesn't reset the .poll pointer to NULL.\nSo, ionic_qcq_enable() calls napi_enable() for the queue, which was\nunregistered by netif_napi_del().\n\nReproducer:\n   ethtool -L <interface name> rx 1 tx 1 combined 0\n   ethtool -L <interface name> rx 0 tx 0 combined 1\n   ethtool -L <interface name> rx 0 tx 0 combined 4\n\nSplat looks like:\nkernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:6666!\nOops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\nCPU: 3 PID: 1057 Comm: kworker/3:3 Not tainted 6.10.0-rc2+ #16\nWorkqueue: events ionic_lif_deferred_work [ionic]\nRIP: 0010:napi_enable+0x3b/0x40\nCode: 48 89 c2 48 83 e2 f6 80 b9 61 09 00 00 00 74 0d 48 83 bf 60 01 00 00 00 74 03 80 ce 01 f0 4f\nRSP: 0018:ffffb6ed83227d48 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff97560cda0828 RCX: 0000000000000029\nRDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff97560cda0a28\nRBP: ffffb6ed83227d50 R08: 0000000000000400 R09: 0000000000000001\nR10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000000\nR13: ffff97560ce3c1a0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff975613ba0a20\nFS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff975d5f780000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 00007f8f734ee200 CR3: 0000000103e50000 CR4: 00000000007506f0\nPKRU: 55555554\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n ? die+0x33/0x90\n ? do_trap+0xd9/0x100\n ? napi_enable+0x3b/0x40\n ? do_error_trap+0x83/0xb0\n ? napi_enable+0x3b/0x40\n ? napi_enable+0x3b/0x40\n ? exc_invalid_op+0x4e/0x70\n ? napi_enable+0x3b/0x40\n ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x16/0x20\n ? napi_enable+0x3b/0x40\n ionic_qcq_enable+0xb7/0x180 [ionic 59bdfc8a035436e1c4224ff7d10789e3f14643f8]\n ionic_start_queues+0xc4/0x290 [ionic 59bdfc8a035436e1c4224ff7d10789e3f14643f8]\n ionic_link_status_check+0x11c/0x170 [ionic 59bdfc8a035436e1c4224ff7d10789e3f14643f8]\n ionic_lif_deferred_work+0x129/0x280 [ionic 59bdfc8a035436e1c4224ff7d10789e3f14643f8]\n process_one_work+0x145/0x360\n worker_thread+0x2bb/0x3d0\n ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10\n kthread+0xcc/0x100\n ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x50\n ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0d19267cb150e8f76ade210e16ee820a77f684e7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/183ebc167a8a19e916b885d4bb61a3491991bfa5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60cd714871cd5a683353a355cbb17a685245cf84","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79f18a41dd056115d685f3b0a419c7cd40055e13","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8edd18dab443863e9e48f084e7f123fca3065e4e"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:52:42.518321223+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-39502","score":0.00307,"percentile":0.23316,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
