Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/11] net: sleepable ndo_set_rx_mode
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:51:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313145113.1424442-1-sdf@fomichev.me> (raw)
This series adds a new ndo_set_rx_mode_async callback that enables
drivers to handle address list updates in a sleepable context. The
current ndo_set_rx_mode is called under the netif_addr_lock spinlock
with BHs disabled, which prevents drivers from sleeping. This is
problematic for ops-locked drivers that need to sleep.
The approach:
1. Add snapshot/reconcile infrastructure for address lists
2. Introduce dev_rx_mode_work that takes snapshots under the lock,
drops the lock, calls the driver, then reconciles changes back
3. Move promiscuity handling into the scheduled work as well
4. Convert existing ops-locked drivers to ndo_set_rx_mode_async
5. Add a warning for ops-locked drivers still using ndo_set_rx_mode
6. Add a selftest exercising the team+bridge+macvlan topology that
triggers the addr_lock -> ops_lock ordering issue
Stanislav Fomichev (11):
net: add address list snapshot and reconciliation infrastructure
net: introduce ndo_set_rx_mode_async and dev_rx_mode_work
net: move promiscuity handling into dev_rx_mode_work
fbnic: convert to ndo_set_rx_mode_async
mlx5: convert to ndo_set_rx_mode_async
bnxt: convert to ndo_set_rx_mode_async
iavf: convert to ndo_set_rx_mode_async
