In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix XDP program unloading while removing the driver
The commit 6533e558c650 ("i40e: Fix reset path while removing the driver") introduced a new PF state "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" to block modifying the XDP program while the driver is being removed. Unfortunately, such a change is useful only if the ".ndo_bpf()" callback was called out of the rmmod context because unloading the existing XDP program is also a part of driver removing procedure. In other words, from the rmmod context the driver is expected to unload the XDP program without reporting any errors. Otherwise, the kernel warning with callstack is printed out to dmesg.
Example failing scenario:
- Load the i40e driver.
- Load the XDP program.
- Unload the i40e driver (using "rmmod" command).

Fix this by checking if the XDP program is being loaded or unloaded. Then, block only loading a new program while "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" is set. Also, move testing "__I40E_IN_REMOVE" flag to the beginning of XDP_SETUP callback to avoid unnecessary operations and checks.
