But this\nhad the side effect of introducing potential deadlocks because of\nincorrect lock ordering.\n\nThe correct lock order is described by the init flow:\nprobe_one -> mlx5_init_one (acquires devlink lock)\n-> mlx5_init_one_devl_locked -> mlx5_register_device\n-> mlx5_rescan_drivers_locked -...-> mlx5e_probe -> _mlx5e_probe\n-> register_netdev (acquires rtnl lock)\n-> register_netdevice (acquires netdev lock)\n=> devlink lock -> rtnl lock -> netdev lock.\n\nBut in the current recovery flow, the order is wrong:\nmlx5e_tx_err_cqe_work (acquires netdev lock)\n-> mlx5e_reporter_tx_err_cqe -> mlx5e_health_report\n-> devlink_health_report (acquires devlink lock => boom!)\n-> devlink_health_reporter_recover\n-> mlx5e_tx_reporter_recover -> mlx5e_tx_reporter_recover_from_ctx\n-> mlx5e_tx_reporter_err_cqe_recover\n\nThe same pattern exists in:\nmlx5e_reporter_rx_timeout\nmlx5e_reporter_tx_ptpsq_unhealthy\nmlx5e_reporter_tx_timeout\n\nFix these by moving the netdev_trylock calls from the work handlers\nlower in the call stack, in the respective recovery functions, where\nthey are actually necessary."}], "lastModified": "2026-06-24T16:27:56.443", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "974ECCCC-3CBB-4A66-9A34-82621077D7F4", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.14", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "672A3E79-EC03-479D-8503-361DFBDC8092", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.4", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
