CVE-2023-53102 (published 2025-05-02)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ice: xsk: disable txq irq before flushing hw

ice_qp_dis() intends to stop a given queue pair that is a target of xsk
pool attach/detach. One of the steps is to disable interrupts on these
queues. It currently is broken in a way that txq irq is turned off
*after* HW flush which in turn takes no effect.

ice_qp_dis():
-> ice_qvec_dis_irq()
--> disable rxq irq
--> flush hw
-> ice_vsi_stop_tx_ring()
-->disable txq irq

Below splat can be triggered by following steps:
- start xdpsock WITHOUT loading xdp prog
- run xdp_rxq_info with XDP_TX action on this interface
- start traffic
- terminate xdpsock

In fact, irqs were not disabled and napi managed to be scheduled and run
while xsk_pool pointer was still valid, but SW ring of xdp_buff pointers
was already freed.

To fix this, call ice_qvec_dis_irq() after ice_vsi_stop_tx_ring(). Also
while at it, remove redundant ice_clean_rx_ring() call - this is handled
in ice_qp_clean_rings().
