4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c3f9bf628bc7edda298897d952f5e761137229c9 ] In the error flow of adding flow rule to auto-grouped flow table, we call to tree_remove_node. tree_remove_node locks the node's parent, however the node's parent is already locked by mlx5_add_flow_rule and this causes a deadlock. After this patch, if we failed to add the flow rule, we unlock the flow table before calling to tree_remove_node. fixes: f0d22d187473 ('net/mlx5_core: Introduce flow steering autogrouped flow table') Signed-off-by: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Amir Vadai <amir@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
