In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: fix TX channel offset when using legacy interrupts
In legacy interrupt mode the tx_channel_offset was hardcoded to 1, but
thats not correct if efx_sepparate_tx_channels is false. In that case,
the offset is 0 because the tx queues are in the single existing channel
at index 0, together with the rx queue.
Without this fix, as soon as you try to send any traffic, it tries to
get the tx queues from an uninitialized channel getting these errors:
