If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6ce04e27082b67fe0ecd1ecd97bbdfee48c762f3 Author: Aleksandr Loktionov <aleksandr.loktionov@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 24 18:16:38 2023 +0100 i40e: fix accessing vsi->active_filters without holding lock [ Upstream commit 8485d093b076e59baff424552e8aecfc5bd2d261 ] Fix accessing vsi->active_filters without holding the mac_filter_hash_lock. Move vsi->active_filters = 0 inside critical section and move clear_bit(__I40E_VSI_OVERFLOW_PROMISC, vsi->state) after the critical section to ensure the new filters from other threads can be added only after filters cleaning in the critical section is finished.
