Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v5 2/3] idpf: ignore link events once removal has started
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 20:12:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013121224.84482-3-luckilystar08@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013121224.84482-1-luckilystar08@gmail.com>
From: Tian Xun Ng <tianxun.ng@bytedance.com>
mbx_task keeps handling mailbox events while idpf_deinit_task() releases
the vports: it requeues itself, or is queued from the mailbox interrupt,
until idpf_vc_core_deinit() cancels it once the vports are gone. A
VIRTCHNL2_EVENT_LINK_CHANGE event handled in that window looks its vport
up in adapter->vports[] without a lock, and idpf_vport_dealloc()
releases the netdev and frees the vport before it clears that slot, so
idpf_handle_event_link() can follow a NULL netdev pointer or use the
freed vport.
Make idpf_handle_event_link() return once IDPF_REMOVE_IN_PROG is set.
The previous patch waits for a running mbx_task after the bit is set and
before anything is released, so on remove a link event is either handled
before the vports are torn down or ignored. Shutdown has the same window
today; the last patch of this series sets the bit there as well. The
window also remains on a hard reset, which tears the vports down without
setting the bit; that path is not changed here.
Fixes: 02cbfba1add5 ("idpf: add ethtool callbacks")
