Subject: [PATCH iwl-net] ixgbevf: add missing negotiate_features op to Hyper-V ops table
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 09:22:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313082230.195208-1-mschmidt@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit a7075f501bd3 ("ixgbevf: fix mailbox API compatibility by
negotiating supported features") added the .negotiate_features callback
to ixgbe_mac_operations and populated it in ixgbevf_mac_ops, but forgot
to add it to ixgbevf_hv_mac_ops. This leaves the function pointer NULL
on Hyper-V VMs.
During probe, ixgbevf_negotiate_api() calls ixgbevf_set_features(),
which unconditionally dereferences hw->mac.ops.negotiate_features().
On Hyper-V this results in a NULL pointer dereference:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
[...]
Hardware name: Microsoft Corporation Virtual Machine/Virtual Machine [...]
Workqueue: events work_for_cpu_fn
RIP: 0010:0x0
[...]
Call Trace:
ixgbevf_negotiate_api+0x66/0x160 [ixgbevf]
ixgbevf_sw_init+0xe4/0x1f0 [ixgbevf]
ixgbevf_probe+0x20f/0x4a0 [ixgbevf]
local_pci_probe+0x50/0xa0
work_for_cpu_fn+0x1a/0x30
[...]
Add ixgbevf_hv_negotiate_features_vf() that returns -EOPNOTSUPP and
wire it into ixgbevf_hv_mac_ops. The caller already handles -EOPNOTSUPP
gracefully.
