In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: enetc: Do not configure preemptible TCs if SIs do not support
Both ENETC PF and VF drivers share enetc_setup_tc_mqprio() to configure
MQPRIO. And enetc_setup_tc_mqprio() calls enetc_change_preemptible_tcs()
to configure preemptible TCs. However, only PF is able to configure
preemptible TCs. Because only PF has related registers, while VF does not
have these registers. So for VF, its hw->port pointer is NULL. Therefore,
VF will access an invalid pointer when accessing a non-existent register,
which will cause a crash issue. The simplified log is as follows.

In addition, some PFs also do not support configuring preemptible TCs,
such as eno1 and eno3 on LS1028A. It won't crash like it does for VFs,
but we should prevent these PFs from accessing these unimplemented
registers.
