Subject: [PATCH net 3/4] net/mlx5e: Pass netdev to mlx5e_destroy_netdev instead of priv
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 13:26:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108212657.25090-4-saeed@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108212657.25090-1-saeed@kernel.org>
From: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
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.
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:00:03.0 mode switchdev
