PATCH 1/4 net/mlx5e: Fix crash on profile change rollback failure

From: Saeed Mahameed <[email protected]>

mlx5e_netdev_change_profile can fail to attach a new profile and can fail to rollback to old profile, in such case, we could end up with a dangling netdev with a fully reset netdev_priv. A retry to change profile, e.g. another attempt to call mlx5e_netdev_change_profile via switchdev mode change, will crash trying to access the now NULL priv->mdev.

This fix allows mlx5e_netdev_change_profile() to handle previous failures and an empty priv, by not assuming priv is valid.

Pass netdev and mdev to all flows requiring mlx5e_netdev_change_profile() and avoid passing priv.
In mlx5e_netdev_change_profile() check if current priv is valid, and if not, just attach the new profile without trying to access the old one.

This fixes the following oops, when enabling switchdev mode for the 2nd time after first time failure:

## Enabling switchdev mode first time:

PATCH 2/4 net/mlx5e: Don't store mlx5e_priv in mlx5e_dev devlink priv

In reply to Saeed Mahameed

From: Saeed Mahameed <[email protected]>

mlx5e_priv is an unstable structure that can be memset(0) if profile attaching fails, mlx5e_priv in mlx5e_dev devlink private is used to reference the netdev and mdev associated with that struct. Instead, store netdev directly into mlx5e_dev and get mdev from the containing mlx5_adev aux device structure.

This fixes a kernel oops in mlx5e_remove when switchdev mode fails due to change profile failure.

PATCH 3/4 net/mlx5e: Pass netdev to mlx5e_destroy_netdev instead of priv

In reply to Saeed Mahameed

From: Saeed Mahameed <[email protected]>

mlx5e_priv is an unstable structure that can be memset(0) if profile attaching fails.

Pass netdev to mlx5e_destroy_netdev() to guarantee it will work on a valid netdev.

On mlx5e_remove: Check validity of priv->profile, before attempting to cleanup any resources that might be not there.

This fixes a kernel oops in mlx5e_remove when switchdev mode fails due to change profile failure.

PATCH 4/4 net/mlx5e: Restore destroying state bit after profile cleanup

In reply to Saeed Mahameed

From: Saeed Mahameed <[email protected]>

Profile rollback can fail in mlx5e_netdev_change_profile() and we will end up with invalid mlx5e_priv memset to 0, we must maintain the 'destroying' bit in order to gracefully shutdown even if the profile/priv are not valid.

This patch maintains the previous state of the 'destroying' state of mlx5e_priv after priv cleanup, to allow the remove flow to cleanup common resources from mlx5_core to avoid FW fatal errors as seen below:

$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:00:03.0 mode switchdev
