Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/8] ibmveth: disable the reset work before unregister in remove
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2026 23:06:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <219666bf36377a7b67d14281fb0b57332c3dab15.1791178212.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1791178212.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com>
ibmveth_remove() cancels the reset work before unregister_netdev(),
but NAPI keeps running until unregister closes the device and can
queue the reset again, on an interrupt enable failure, a bad
free_map entry or a bad RX slot. The reset can then run on the
adapter after free_netdev(), or reopen the device during unregister.
Use disable_work_sync(), which waits for a running reset and keeps
the work from being queued again. A bad RX slot also makes poll
spin, which can stall unregister; a later patch in this series
fixes that.
Found by AI-assisted review of the ibmveth multi-queue RX series and
confirmed by code inspection; it was not reproduced. Tested on a POWER10
LPAR with unbind and bind cycles under traffic. No kernel selftests
cover ibmveth.
Fixes: 2c91e2319ed9 ("net: ibmveth: Reset the adapter when unexpected states are detected")
