[PATCH net 3/5] net/mlx5: E-switch, Clear legacy flag when moving to switchdev

From: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com>
Date: 2026-02-24 11:47:46
Also in: linux-rdma, lkml
Subsystem: mellanox mlx5 core vpi driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Saeed Mahameed, Leon Romanovsky, Tariq Toukan, Mark Bloch, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Shay Drory <redacted>

The cited commit introduced MLX5_PRIV_FLAGS_SWITCH_LEGACY to identify
when a transition to legacy mode is requested via devlink.  However, the
logic failed to clear this flag if the mode was subsequently changed
back to MLX5_ESWITCH_OFFLOADS (switchdev).  Consequently, if a user
toggled from legacy to switchdev, the flag remained set, leaving the
driver with wrong state indicating

Fix this by explicitly clearing the MLX5_PRIV_FLAGS_SWITCH_LEGACY bit
when the requested mode is MLX5_ESWITCH_OFFLOADS.

Fixes: 2a4f56fbcc47 ("net/mlx5e: Keep netdev when leave switchdev for devlink set legacy only")
