The promisc query inside esw_update_vport_rx_mode()\nfails and returns early, leaving vport->allmulti_rule intact, so\nesw_update_vport_mc_promisc() runs and adds MLX5_ACTION_ADD entries\nto vport->mc_list whose flow rules are then installed in the FDB\nby esw_add_mc_addr(). esw_destroy_legacy_table() tears down the\nFDB with those refs still held, corrupting the sub-tree and\nleaving dangling flow_rule pointers in vport->mc_list.\n\nTwo-stage failure on `echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<bdf>/reset`:\n\n  refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.\n   tree_put_node+0xef/0x110 [mlx5_core]\n   clean_tree+0x44/0xd0 [mlx5_core] (x5)\n   mlx5_fs_core_cleanup+0x57/0x1c0 [mlx5_core]\n   mlx5_unload+0x65/0xd0 [mlx5_core]\n   ... mlx5_health_try_recover\n\n  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000003000055\n   down_write+0x1c/0x60\n   mlx5_del_flow_rules+0x33/0x1f0 [mlx5_core]\n   esw_del_mc_addr+0x7b/0x170 [mlx5_core]\n   esw_apply_vport_addr_list+0x56/0xf0 [mlx5_core]\n   esw_vport_change_handle_locked+0x28b/0x310 [mlx5_core]\n   mlx5_esw_vport_enable+0x270/0x4a0 [mlx5_core]\n   ... mlx5_load ... mlx5_health_try_recover\n\nesw_apply_vport_rx_mode(false, false) clears vport->allmulti_rule\nvia its local state machine even when the FW del fails. With the\nrule NULL the !IS_ERR_OR_NULL(allmulti_rule) gate in the change\nhandler closes, no rules are installed during disable, and the\nreload starts with a clean mc_list.","categories":["Operating
