In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: lapbether: ignore ops-locked netdevs
Syzkaller managed to trigger lock dependency in xsk_notify via
register_netdevice. As discussed in [0], using register_netdevice
in the notifiers is problematic so skip adding lapbeth for ops-locked
devices.
