Fix several issues with VF hotplug and multi-process support in netvsc, mana, mlx5, and mlx4 drivers:
- Fix race conditions between VSP notifications and DPDK device events during VF add/remove, with proper locking of VF-related fields - Add multi-process communication infrastructure for coordinating VF removal across primary and secondary processes - Fix Protection Domain resource leak on device close in mana - Fix devargs memory leak during VF hotplug in netvsc - Fix fast-path ops (rte_eth_fp_ops) setup in secondary processes for mana, mlx5, and mlx4, ensuring burst function pointers are restored after STOP->START cycles v5: - Patches 5,6,7: Also restore rte_eth_fp_ops burst function pointers (rx_pkt_burst, tx_pkt_burst) in START_RXTX handler, not just queue data pointers. Without this, after a STOP->START cycle the secondary process burst pointers remain set to dummy functions. v4: - Patch 1: Check hn_vf_add() return value in netvsc_hotplug_retry - Patch 1: Track fresh_attach to avoid tearing down original VF attachment when configure/start fails on an -EEXIST path - Patch 2: Move counter decrement and netvsc_uninit_once() after device cleanup in eth_hn_remove() to prevent use-after-free of shared data - Patch 2: Clear netvsc_shared_data on init failure paths to prevent dangling pointer v3: - Fix review comments from v2 v2: - Initial rework of VF add/remove locking Long Li (7): net/netvsc: fix race conditions on VF add/remove events net/netvsc: add multi-process VF device removal support net/mana: fix PD resource leak on device close net/netvsc: fix devargs memory leak on hotplug net/mana: fix fast-path ops setup in secondary process net/mlx5: fix fast-path ops setup in secondary process net/mlx4: fix fast-path ops setup in secondary process drivers/net/mana/mana.c | 14 ++ drivers/net/mana/mp.c | 8 + drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4_mp.c | 6 + drivers/net/mlx5/linux/mlx5_mp_os.c | 6 + drivers/net/netvsc/hn_ethdev.c | 300 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- drivers/net/netvsc/hn_nvs.h | 6 + drivers/net/netvsc/hn_rxtx.c | 40 ++-- drivers/net/netvsc/hn_var.h | 1 + drivers/net/netvsc/hn_vf.c | 148 ++++++++------ 9 files changed, 437 insertions(+), 92 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
