CVE-2022-49227 — igc: avoid kernel warning when changing RX ring parameters

Affected: Linux

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

igc: avoid kernel warning when changing RX ring parameters

Calling ethtool changing the RX ring parameters like this:

$ ethtool -G eth0 rx 1024

on igc triggers kernel warnings like this:
