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

vfio/xe: Reorganize the init to decouple migration from reset

Attempting to issue reset on VF devices that don't support migration
leads to the following:

</TASK>

This is caused by the fact that some of the xe_vfio_pci_core_device
members needed for handling reset are only initialized as part of
migration init.

Fix the problem by reorganizing the code to decouple VF init from
migration init.
