Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] net/mlx5e: SD, Fix race condition in secondary device probe/remove
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 22:34:10 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330193412.53408-2-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330193412.53408-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>

From: Shay Drory <shayd@nvidia.com>

When utilizing Socket-Direct single netdev functionality the driver
resolves the actual auxiliary device using mlx5_sd_get_adev(). However,
the current implementation returns the primary ETH auxiliary device
without holding the device lock, leading to a potential race condition
where the ETH device could be unbound or removed concurrently during
probe, suspend, resume, or remove operations.[1]

Fix this by introducing mlx5_sd_put_adev() and updating
mlx5_sd_get_adev() so that secondaries devices would acquire the device
lock of the returned auxiliary device. After the lock is acquired, a
second devcom check is needed[2].
In addition, update The callers to pair the get operation with the new
put operation, ensuring the lock is held while the auxiliary device is
being operated on and released afterwards.
