Subject: [PATCH RFC iwl-next 3/4] iavf: wait for PF confirmation before removing VLAN filters
Date: Mon,  2 Mar 2026 12:40:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260302114025.1017985-4-poros@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260302114025.1017985-1-poros@redhat.com>

The VLAN filter DELETE path was asymmetric with the ADD path: ADD
waits for PF confirmation (ADD -> ADDING -> ACTIVE), but DELETE
immediately frees the filter struct after sending the DEL message
without waiting for the PF response.

This is problematic because:
 - If the PF rejects the DEL, the filter remains in HW but the driver
   has already freed the tracking structure, losing sync.
 - Race conditions between DEL pending and other operations
   (add, reset) cannot be properly resolved if the filter struct
   is already gone.

Add IAVF_VLAN_REMOVING state to make the DELETE path symmetric:

  REMOVE -> REMOVING (send DEL) -> PF confirms -> kfree
                                -> PF rejects  -> ACTIVE

In iavf_del_vlans(), transition filters from REMOVE to REMOVING
instead of immediately freeing them. The new DEL completion handler
in iavf_virtchnl_completion() frees filters on success or reverts
them to ACTIVE on error.

Update iavf_add_vlan() to handle the REMOVING state: if a DEL is
pending and the user re-adds the same VLAN, queue it for ADD so
it gets re-programmed after the PF processes the DEL.

The !VLAN_FILTERING_ALLOWED early-exit path still frees filters
directly since no PF message is sent in that case.
