[PATCH iwl-net v3 2/2] ice: preserve uplink DFLT Rx rule on switchdev release

From: Petr Oros <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-01 13:36:31
Also in: intel-wired-lan, lkml
Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

When the uplink PF is promiscuous, ice_vsi_sync_fltr() installs an
ICE_SW_LKUP_DFLT catch-all Rx rule on the uplink VSI. Entering switchdev
re-affirms it through the idempotent ice_set_dflt_vsi(), but
ice_eswitch_release_env() removed both the Rx and Tx DFLT rules
unconditionally on teardown. That clobbered a promisc-owned Rx rule: it
disappeared while IFF_PROMISC was still set and the sync path was not
retriggered, leaving the uplink without the catch-all the netdev
requested.

Skip the Rx DFLT removal when the uplink is promiscuous, both in
ice_eswitch_release_env() and the err_def_tx unwind of
ice_eswitch_setup_env(); the Tx leg, owned by switchdev, is still removed.
Test the live netdev->flags, the same value ena_rx_filtering() ->
ice_cfg_vlan_pruning() above already keys on, so the preserved rule and
the pruning state stay consistent, including for a promisc change made
while switchdev ran (which never reached the gated filter sync).

Fixes: 5c07be96d8b3 ("ice: Avoid setting default Rx VSI twice in switchdev setup")

v3:
- Corrected the Fixes tag from 1a1c40df2e80 ("ice: set and release
  switchdev environment") to 5c07be96d8b3 ("ice: Avoid setting default
  Rx VSI twice in switchdev setup"), the commit that made
  ice_eswitch_setup_env() use the idempotent ice_set_dflt_vsi(); before
  it a pre-existing promisc DFLT rule made setup fail with -EEXIST so the
  release path was never reached. No code change.
