Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hns3: add vlan list lock to protect vlan list When adding port base VLAN, vf VLAN need to remove from HW and modify the vlan state in vf VLAN list as false. If the periodicity task is freeing the same node, it may cause "use after free" error. This patch adds a vlan list lock to protect the vlan list.
