Subject: [PATCH net] octeontx2-vf: fix workqueue and netdev race in probe/remove
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 14:06:34 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820083634.1641740-1-nshettyj@marvell.com> (raw)
From: Anshumali Gaur <agaur@marvell.com>
Initialize the VF workqueue before register_netdev() so ndo_set_rx_mode
does not queue work on a NULL workqueue. Unregister the netdev before
destroying the workqueue, and add proper probe error cleanup.
Fixes: cbc100aa2205 ("octeontx2-nicvf: add ndo_set_rx_mode support for multicast & promisc")
