Hi,

Please consider this backport series for CVE-2026-22996, CVE-2026-23035 to
6.6.y.

Apply the patches in this order:
1. net/mlx5e: Don't store mlx5e_priv in mlx5e_dev devlink priv (fix)
2. net/mlx5e: Pass netdev to mlx5e_destroy_netdev instead of priv (fix)

Patch 1 stores the netdev for suspend, resume and removal so cleanup
survives a cleared private-state pointer. The older removal path obtains
the hardware device from the auxiliary device and unregisters once:
binding follows successful registration, and the target profile changes
keep that registration.

Patch 2 destroys the stored netdev without relying on priv->netdev, which
profile rollback can clear. Its code changes are identical to upstream.
Apply both patches after the pending 6.6.y backport of 3d5918477f94
(net/mlx5e: Fix netif state handling), which fixes registration-failure
cleanup.

The complete fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y and 7.2.y.

Build-tested only as part of a cumulative 6.6.y series on x86_64
(allmodconfig, CONFIG_WERROR=y), changed objects only; no runtime testing.

An LLM assisted with preparing these backports.

Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg

[ Upstream commit 123eda2e5b1638e298e3a66bb1e64a8da92de5e1 ]

mlx5e_priv is an unstable structure that can be memset(0) if profile
attaching fails, mlx5e_priv in mlx5e_dev devlink private is used to
reference the netdev and mdev associated with that struct. Instead,
store netdev directly into mlx5e_dev and get mdev from the containing
mlx5_adev aux device structure.

This fixes a kernel oops in mlx5e_remove when switchdev mode fails due
to change profile failure.

Hi,

Please consider this backport of the fix for CVE-2026-22996 to 6.6.y.

The code changes follow upstream, except the older remove path derives
mdev from the auxiliary device and omits the newer registration-state
branches; see the backport note.

The complete fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y and 7.2.y.

Build-tested only as part of a cumulative 6.6.y series on x86_64
(allmodconfig, CONFIG_WERROR=y), changed objects only; no runtime testing.

Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg

[ Upstream commit 4ef8512e1427111f7ba92b4a847d181ff0aeec42 ]

mlx5e_priv is an unstable structure that can be memset(0) if profile
attaching fails.

Pass netdev to mlx5e_destroy_netdev() to guarantee it will work on a
valid netdev.

On mlx5e_remove: Check validity of priv->profile, before attempting
to cleanup any resources that might be not there.

This fixes a kernel oops in mlx5e_remove when switchdev mode fails due
to change profile failure.
