Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx5: HWS, fix modify header pool match for copy actions
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 14:01:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010120147.135825-1-acassen@corp.free.fr> (raw)

mlx5_fs_hws_mh_pool_match() compares only the first half of each action
since rules pass their values as arguments. Copy and add_field actions
keep their destination in the second half and HWS reads them from the
pattern alone. Two modify headers whose copies differ only in
destination then share a pool and the second rule writes to the wrong
field.

Use the HWS core comparison that checks these actions in full.

Found while checking a Sashiko AI review report and confirmed against
the HWS pattern code. Not reproduced. No in-kernel user puts such
actions on the FDB but RDMA flow actions can.

Fixes: b36315ca69cb ("net/mlx5: fs, add HWS modify header API function")
