[PATCH net] octeontx2-vf: fix workqueue and netdev race in probe/remove
From: <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-20 08:36:54
Also in:
lkml
Subsystem:
marvell octeontx2 physical function driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers:

From: Anshumali Gaur <redacted>
Initialize the VF workqueue before register_netdev() so ndo_set_rx_mode
does not queue work on a NULL workqueue. Unregister the netdev before
destroying the workqueue, and add proper probe error cleanup.
Fixes: cbc100aa2205 ("octeontx2-nicvf: add ndo_set_rx_mode support for multicast & promisc")
