From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit 9b035b08e7e5fe7b2e75636324edf41ee30c5f94 which is commit 9ca415399dae133b00273a4283ef31d003a6818d upstream. It was backported incorrectly, Paul writes at: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200607203425.GD23662@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I happened to notice this commit: 9ca415399dae - "net/mlx5: Annotate mutex destroy for root ns" ...was backported to 4.19 and 5.4 and v5.6 in linux-stable. It patches del_sw_root_ns() - which only exists after v5.7-rc7 from: 6eb7a268a99b - "net/mlx5: Don't maintain a case of del_sw_func being null" which creates the one line del_sw_root_ns stub function around kfree(node) by breaking it out of tree_put_node(). In the absense of del_sw_root_ns - the backport finds an identical one line kfree stub fcn - named del_sw_prio from this earlier commit: 139ed6c6c46a - "net/mlx5: Fix steering memory leak" [in v4.15-rc5] and then puts the mutex_destroy() into that (wrong) function, instead of putting it into tree_put_node where the root ns case used to be hand Reported-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Roi Dayan <roid@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Bloch <markb@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fs_core.c | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fs_core.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fs_core.c @@ -416,12 +416,6 @@ static void del_sw_ns(struct fs_node *no static void del_sw_prio(struct fs_node *node) { - struct mlx5_flow_root_namespace *root_ns; - struct mlx5_flow_namespace *ns; - - fs_get_obj(ns, node); - root_ns = container_of(ns, struct mlx5_flow_root_namespace, ns); - mutex_destroy(&root_ns->chain_lock); kfree(node); }
