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

wifi: mt76: disable napi on driver removal

A warning on driver removal started occurring after commit 9dd05df8403b ("net: warn if NAPI instance wasn't shut down"). Disable tx napi before deleting it in mt76dmacleanup().

WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 18828 at net/core/dev.c:7288 netifnapidellocked+0xf0/0x100 CPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 18828 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.15.0-rc4 #4 PREEMPT(lazy) Hardware name: ASUS System Product Name/PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI, BIOS 3035 09/05/2024 RIP: 0010:netifnapidellocked+0xf0/0x100 Call Trace: <TASK> mt76dmacleanup+0x54/0x2f0 [mt76] mt7921pciremove+0xd5/0x190 [mt7921e] pcideviceremove+0x47/0xc0 devicereleasedriverinternal+0x19e/0x200 driverdetach+0x48/0x90 busremovedriver+0x6d/0xf0 pciunregisterdriver+0x2e/0xb0 dosysdeletemodule.isra.0+0x197/0x2e0 dosyscall64+0x7b/0x160 entrySYSCALL64afterhwframe+0x76/0x7e

Tested with mt7921e but the same pattern can be actually applied to other mt76 drivers calling mt76dmacleanup() during removal. Tx napi is enabled in their dmainit() functions and only toggled off and on again inside their suspend/resume/reset paths. So it should be okay to disable tx napi in such a generic way.
