This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx5: Avoid recovery in probe flows to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-mlx5-avoid-recovery-in-probe-flows.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 87650d1c366cdc9c687b5fa60b044fa660402cd5 Author: Shay Drory <shayd@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 24 13:34:12 2022 +0200 net/mlx5: Avoid recovery in probe flows [ Upstream commit 9078e843efec530f279a155f262793c58b0746bd ] Currently, recovery is done without considering whether the device is still in probe flow. This may lead to recovery before device have finished probed successfully. e.g.: while mlx5_init_one() is running. Recovery flow is using functionality that is loaded only by mlx5_init_one(), and there is no point in running recovery without mlx5_init_one() finished successfully. Fix it by waiting for probe flow to finish and checking whether the device is probed before trying to perform recovery.
