Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ixgbevf: Fix resource leak in ixgbevf_init_module()

ixgbevf_init_module() won’t destroy the workqueue created by create_singlethread_workqueue() when pci_register_driver() failed. Add destroy_workqueue() in fail path to prevent the resource leak.
