Subject: [PATCH iwl-next 4/4] iavf: harden VLAN filter state machine race handling
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 11:42:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316104209.1285962-5-poros@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316104209.1285962-1-poros@redhat.com>

Address remaining race windows in the VLAN filter state machine that
were identified during cross-state analysis of ADD and DEL paths.

1. Add VIRTCHNL_OP_ADD_VLAN to the success completion handler.

   The V1 ADD_VLAN opcode had no success handler -- filters sent via V1
   stayed in ADDING state permanently.  Add a fallthrough case so V1
   filters also transition ADDING -> ACTIVE on PF confirmation.

   Critically, add an `if (v_retval) break` guard: the error switch
   in iavf_virtchnl_completion() does NOT return after handling errors,
   it falls through to the success switch.  Without this guard, a
   PF-rejected ADD would incorrectly mark ADDING filters as ACTIVE,
   creating a driver/HW mismatch where the driver believes the filter
   is installed but the PF never accepted it.

   For V2, this is harmless: iavf_vlan_add_reject() in the error
   block already kfree'd all ADDING filters, so the success handler
   finds nothing to transition.

2. Skip DEL on filters already in REMOVING state.

   In iavf_del_vlan(), if a filter is in IAVF_VLAN_REMOVING (DEL
   already sent to PF, waiting for response), do not overwrite to
   REMOVE and schedule a redundant DEL.  The pending DEL's
   completion handler will either kfree the filter (PF confirms)
   or revert to ACTIVE (PF rejects).

   Without this, the sequence DEL(pending) -> user-del -> second DEL
   could result in PF returning an error for the second DEL (filter
   already gone), causing the completion handler to incorrectly revert
   a deleted filter back to ACTIVE.
