Description
===========

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

iavf: free q_vectors before queues in iavf_disable_vf

iavf_free_queues() clears adapter->num_active_queues, which
iavf_free_q_vectors() relies on, so swap the order of these two function
calls in iavf_disable_vf(). This resolves a panic encountered when the
interface is disabled and then later brought up again after PF
communication is restored.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47201 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
