[PATCH net v3] octeontx2-af: Fix rep link state sync and workqueue races

From: <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-03 07:48:57
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: marvell octeontx2 physical function driver, marvell octeontx2 rvu admin function driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Sunil Goutham, Geetha sowjanya, Ratheesh Kannoth, Subbaraya Sundeep, Bharat Bhushan, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Geetha sowjanya <gakula@marvell.com>

Move rep event workqueue init to rvu_mbox_handler_get_rep_cnt(),
fix use-after-free and race conditions in rep event handling,
add bounds checking, and serialize LBK link configuration.

Fixes: b8fea84a0468 ("octeontx2-pf: Add support to sync link state between representor and VFs")

changes in v3:
- Introduce RVU_MAX_REP macro for the representor map array size.
- Fix use-after-free in rvu_remove() when rep_evt_wq is destroyed
  while a mbox handler is still running.
- Fix a race in rvu_mbox_handler_rep_event_notify() where rep_evt_wq
  could be freed between the NULL check and queue_work().
- Reject REP_EVENT_NOTIFY from non-owner PFs and invalid pcifunc values.
- Fix LBK link leak when MCAM rule installation fails midway.
- Fix a race in rvu_mbox_handler_get_rep_cnt() where concurrent mbox
  handlers could both initialize rep2pfvf_map.
- Reject GET_REP_CNT from non-owner callers with -EPERM.
- Cap rep_cnt to RVU_MAX_REP to prevent out-of-bounds map writes.
- Fix inconsistent rep_cnt state when get_rep_cnt initialization fails.
- Fix a race in rvu_switch_enable_lbk_link() where nix_blkaddr could
  change mid-call, and fix NULL dereference when nix_hw is not assigned.

changes in v2:
- Reject REP event notifications before workqueue setup and
    validate PF/VF state event pcifuncs.
- Make REP map initialization atomic by using a temporary map,
    handling zero-REP cases, and rolling back on workqueue allocation
    failure.
- Use an unbound REP event workqueue.
- Serialize LBK link TL2 configuration with rsrc_lock.
