[PATCH net-next 1/3] net/mlx5: Clear FW reset-in-progress bit before reload
From: Tariq Toukan
Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 03:29:39 EST
From: Mark Bloch <mbloch@xxxxxxxxxx>
mlx5 sets MLX5_FW_RESET_FLAGS_RESET_IN_PROGRESS when acknowledging a
sync reset request. This bit blocks devlink reload and other devlink
operations while the firmware reset is running, but it was kept set
until after the driver reload finished.
Clear the reset-in-progress bit once the reset unload flow is done and
PCI access is back, before reloading the device. For a reset initiated
through devlink, clear it before completing the reload waiter. For a
reset reported through an asynchronous firmware event, keep the unload
flow outside devl_lock, then take devl_lock before clearing the bit and
reloading through the devl-locked load helper.
