[PATCH net-next 10/15] net/mlx5: LAG, do not add a device to an already-active LAG
From: Tariq Toukan
Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 12:27:32 EST
From: Shay Drory <shayd@xxxxxxxxxx>
mlx5_ldev_add_mdev() would add a newly probed device to the LAG even
when the LAG is already active, mutating membership while getters may be
iterating it and while the active mapping assumes a fixed member set.
Reject the join when the group's LAG is active:
__mlx5_lag_dev_add_mdev() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, and mlx5_lag_add_mdev()
treats that as terminal - unregister the HCA devcom component and leave
the device standalone, rather than the -EAGAIN retry used for the
bounded mode-change window.
The device stays out of the LAG until it is reprobed.
This keeps LAG membership stable while active. It is a no-op for
existing configurations, where no device is added to a LAG once it is
active.
In addition, do not register the eswitch devcom component of such a
device, so it does not pair with the eswitches of the LAG members.
