Subject: [PATCH net 4/4] net/mlx5e: Restore destroying state bit after profile cleanup
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 13:26:57 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108212657.25090-5-saeed@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108212657.25090-1-saeed@kernel.org>
From: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
Profile rollback can fail in mlx5e_netdev_change_profile() and we will
end up with invalid mlx5e_priv memset to 0, we must maintain the
'destroying' bit in order to gracefully shutdown even if the
profile/priv are not valid.
This patch maintains the previous state of the 'destroying' state of
mlx5e_priv after priv cleanup, to allow the remove flow to cleanup
common resources from mlx5_core to avoid FW fatal errors as seen below:
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:00:03.0 mode switchdev
Error: mlx5_core: Failed setting eswitch to offloads.
