Currently, two testcases in rdma-core fail with the latest kernel, leaving the console log below.
=====
$ ./build/bin/run_tests.py -k device

It seems sys_image_guid is set here:

I tried rolling back to commit 57a7138d0627, just before this patch was applied, and found the error resolved.
[PATCH 1/1] RDMA/rxe: Remove the direct link to net_device
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241220222325.2487767-1-yanjun.zhu@xxxxxxxxx/
I think the root cause lies in ndev patches applied in the past two months,
but I am not very sure if it is good idea to revert them. I would like opinions
from Zhu and other developers.
Thanks,
Daisuke Matsuda
