"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-006662 advisory.

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

    ibmvnic: don't release napi in __ibmvnic_open()

    If __ibmvnic_open() encounters an error such as when setting link state,
    it calls release_resources() which frees the napi structures needlessly.
    Instead, have __ibmvnic_open() only clean up the work it did so far (i.e.
    disable napi and irqs) and leave the rest to the callers.

    If caller of __ibmvnic_open() is ibmvnic_open(), it should release the
    resources immediately. If the caller is do_reset() or do_hard_reset(),
    they will release the resources on the next reset.

    This fixes following crash that occurred when running the drmgr command
    several times to add/remove a vnic interface:
