Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx5: Don't zero user_count when destroying FDB tables
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2025 22:20:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1761510019-938772-1-git-send-email-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
From: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@nvidia.com>
esw->user_count tracks how many TC rules are added on an esw via
mlx5e_configure_flower -> mlx5_esw_get -> atomic64_inc(&esw->user_count)
esw.user_count was unconditionally set to 0 in
esw_destroy_legacy_fdb_table and esw_destroy_offloads_fdb_tables.
These two together can lead to the following sequence of events:
1. echo 1 > /sys/class/net/eth2/device/sriov_numvfs
- mlx5_core_sriov_configure -...-> esw_create_legacy_table ->
atomic64_set(&esw->user_count, 0)
2. tc qdisc add dev eth2 ingress && \
tc filter replace dev eth2 pref 1 protocol ip chain 0 ingress \
handle 1 flower action ct nat zone 64000 pipe
- mlx5e_configure_flower -> mlx5_esw_get ->
atomic64_inc(&esw->user_count)
3. echo 0 > /sys/class/net/eth2/device/sriov_numvfs
- mlx5_core_sriov_configure -..-> esw_destroy_legacy_fdb_table
-> atomic64_set(&esw->user_count, 0)
4. devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.0 mode switchdev
- mlx5_devlink_eswitch_mode_set -> mlx5_esw_try_lock ->
atomic64_read(&esw->user_count) == 0
- then proceed to a WARN_ON in:
esw_offloads_start -> mlx5_eswitch_enable_locke -> esw_offloads_enable
-> mlx5_esw_offloads_rep_load -> mlx5e_vport_rep_load ->
mlx5e_netdev_change_profile -> mlx5e_detach_netdev ->
mlx5e_cleanup_nic_rx -> mlx5e_tc_nic_cleanup ->
mlx5e_mod_hdr_tbl_destroy
Fix this by not clearing out the user_count when destroying FDB tables,
so that the check in mlx5_esw_try_lock can prevent the mode change when
there are TC rules configured, as originally intended.
