RDMA/core: Fix stale RoCE GIDs during netdev events at registration

2026-03-04T12:20:40Z

[ Upstream commit 9af0feae8016ba58ad7ff784a903404986b395b1 ] RoCE GID entries become stale when netdev properties change during the IB device registration window. This is reproducible with a udev rule that sets a MAC address when a VF netdev appears: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth4", \ RUN+="/sbin/ip link set eth4 address 88:22:33:44:55:66" After VF creation, show_gids displays GIDs derived from the original random MAC rather than the configured one. The root cause is a race between netdev event processing and device registration: CPU 0 (driver) CPU 1 (udev/workqueue) ────────────── ────────────────────── ib_register_device() ib_cache_setup_one() gid_table_setup_one() _gid_table_setup_one() ← GID table allocated rdma_roce_rescan_device() ← GIDs populated with OLD MAC ip link set eth4 addr NEW_MAC NETDEV_CHANGEADDR queued netdevice_event_work_handler() ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() ← Iterates DEVICE_REGISTERED ← Device NOT marked yet, SKIP! enable_device_and_get() xa_set_mark(DEVICE_REGISTERED) ← Too late, event was lost The netdev event handler uses ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() which only iterates devices marked DEVICE_REGISTERED. However, this mark is set late in the registration process, after the GID cache is already populated. Events arriving in this window are silently dropped. Fix this by introducing a new xarray mark DEVICE_GID_UPDATES that is set immediately after the GID table is allocated and initialized. Use the new mark in ib_enum_all_roce_netdevs() function to iterate devices instead of DEVICE_REGISTERED. This is safe because: - After _gid_table_setup_one(), all required structures exist (port_data, immutable, cache.gid) - The GID table mutex serializes concurrent access between the initial rescan and event handlers - Event handlers correctly update stale GIDs even when racing with rescan - The mark is cleared in ib_cache_cleanup_one() before teardown This also fixes similar races for IP address events (inetaddr_event, inet6addr_event) which use the same enumeration path.

The root cause is: the function ib_device_rename() renames the name with lock. But in the function kobject_uevent(), this name is accessed without lock protection at the same time. The solution is to add the lock protection when this name is accessed in the function kobject_uevent().
