[PATCH] net/mlx5: Reorder completion before putting command entry in cmd_work_handler
From: Nikolay Kuratov
Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 12:54:38 EST
Assuming callback != NULL && !page_queue, cmd_work_handler takes
command entry with refcnt == 1 from mlx5_cmd_invoke.
If either semaphore timeout or index allocation error happens,
it does final cmd_ent_put(ent). To avoid access to freed memory,
notify slotted completion before cmd_ent_put.
This is theoretical issue found by Svace static analyser.

Fixes: 485d65e135712 ("net/mlx5: Add a timeout to acquire the command queue semaphore")
Fixes: 0e2909c6bec90 ("net/mlx5: Fix variable not being completed when function returns")
