From: Sathesh B Edara <sedara@marvell.com> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.90 commit 7e1ca1bed3f66e00377f7d2147be390144924276 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IC991M CVE: CVE-2025-37933 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 34f42736b325287a7b2ce37e415838f539767bda ] When the host loses heartbeat messages from the device, the driver calls the device-specific ndo_stop function, which frees the resources. If the driver is unloaded in this scenario, it calls ndo_stop again, attempting to free resources that have already been freed, leading to a host hang issue. To resolve this, dev_close should be called instead of the device-specific stop function.dev_close internally calls ndo_stop to stop the network interface and performs additional cleanup tasks. During the driver unload process, if the device is already down, ndo_stop is not called.
