CVE-2021-47139 (published 2024-03-25)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hns3: put off calling register_netdev() until client initialize complete

Currently, the netdevice is registered before client initializing
complete. So there is a timewindow between netdevice available
and usable. In this case, if user try to change the channel number
or ring param, it may cause the hns3_set_rx_cpu_rmap() being called
twice, and report bug.

The process is like below:

set HNS3_NIC_STATE_INITED    call hns3_set_rx_cpu_rmap()-- crash

Fix it by calling register_netdev() at the end of function
hns3_client_init().
