Potential regression/bug in net/mlx5 driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

Starting with the v6.3-rcX kernel releases I noticed that my
InfiniBand devices were no longer present under /sys/class/infiniband,
causing some of my automated testing to fail.  It took me a while to
find the time to bisect the issue, but I eventually identified the
problematic commit:

  commit fe998a3c77b9f989a30a2a01fb00d3729a6d53a4

   net/mlx5: Enable management PF initialization

   Enable initialization of DPU Management PF, which is a new loopback PF
   designed for communication with BMC.
   For now Management PF doesn't support nor require most upper layer
   protocols so avoid them.

I'm not a mlx5 driver expert so I can't really offer much in the way
of a fix, but as a quick test I did remove the
'mlx5_core_is_management_pf(...)' calls in mlx5/core/dev.c and
everything seemed to work okay on my test system (or rather the tests
ran without problem).

If you need any additional information, or would like me to test a
patch, please let me know.
