Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx5e: Hold sync_lock while resetting VXLAN ports
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 23:03:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113040323.2090829-1-lcy8047@gmail.com> (raw)
mlx5_vxlan_reset_to_default() walks vxlan->htable without sync_lock
and calls mlx5_vxlan_del_port() for each user port. mlx5e_nic_disable()
and mlx5e_uplink_rep_disable() call it after rtnl_unlock(), so the
udp_tunnel_nic work can run mlx5e_vxlan_unset_port() at the same time.
If that removes and frees the entry saved as the next one in
hash_for_each_safe(), the walk then reads freed memory.
Hold sync_lock over the whole walk, and add __mlx5_vxlan_del_port() for
callers that already hold it.
Fixes: c5eb51adf06b ("net/mlx5e: Fix VXLAN synchronization after function reload")

Found with a static analysis tool we are developing.
Compile-tested only, with x86_64_defconfig plus MLX5_CORE_EN and W=1.
