Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net/mlx5: HWS, fix reformat pool creation race
Date: Thu,  8 Oct 2026 22:42:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008204230.3222198-2-acassen@corp.free.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008204230.3222198-1-acassen@corp.free.fr>

mlx5_fs_get_pr_encap_pool() inserts a new pool when the lookup misses.
Two callers allocating the first reformat of a size at once both
create one and the second fails with -EBUSY. TC serializes these
allocations under encap_tbl_lock while RDMA flow actions on the FDB
don't.

Sashiko AI review of an earlier series spotted this issue.

Tested for regressions on ConnectX-7 with firmware 28.48.1000.

Fixes: aecd9d1020e3 ("net/mlx5: fs, add HWS packet reformat API function")
