This change lets the iWarp device drivers decide the return value of iw_query_port when attached netdev is NULL. This allows ib_register_device calling when netdev is NULL. background info: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220118141324.GF8034@xxxxxxxx/ Signed-off-by: Cheng Xu <chengyou@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/infiniband/core/device.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/core/device.c b/drivers/infiniband/core/device.c index a311df07b1bd..29e42279e983 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/core/device.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/core/device.c @@ -2019,8 +2019,12 @@ static int iw_query_port(struct ib_device *device, memset(port_attr, 0, sizeof(*port_attr)); netdev = ib_device_get_netdev(device, port_num); + /* Some iwarp device may be not binded to a netdev temporarily when + * ib_register_device called.
