[PATCH net V2 1/3] net/mlx5: SD: Serialize init/cleanup

From: Tariq Toukan

Date: Mon Apr 13 2026 - 07:00:32 EST


From: Shay Drory <shayd@xxxxxxxxxx>

mlx5_sd_init() / mlx5_sd_cleanup() may run from multiple PFs in the same
Socket-Direct group. This can cause the SD bring-up/tear-down sequence
to be executed more than once or interleaved across PFs.

Protect SD init/cleanup with mlx5_devcom_comp_lock() and track the SD
group state on the primary device. Skip init if the primary is already
UP, and skip cleanup unless the primary is UP.

Fixes: 381978d28317 ("net/mlx5e: Create single netdev per SD group")
