Subject: [PATCH net-next 6/7] net/mlx5: E-switch, load reps via work queue after registration
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 14:55:49 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409115550.156419-7-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409115550.156419-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>
From: Mark Bloch <mbloch@nvidia.com>
mlx5_eswitch_register_vport_reps() merely sets the callbacks. The actual
representor load/unload requires devlink locking and shouldn’t run from
the registration context. Queue a work that acquires the devlink lock,
loads all relevant reps. This lets load happen where the needed locks
can be taken.
