Revision 5a508a254bed9a2e36a5fb96c9065532a6bf1e9c authored by Jiri Pirko on 09 November 2019, 10:29:46 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 10 November 2019, 03:38:36 UTC
There is a race between driver code that does setup/cleanup of device
and devlink reload operation that in some drivers works with the same
code. Use after free could we easily obtained by running:

while true; do
        echo "0000:00:10.0" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlxsw_spectrum2/bind
        devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:10.0 &
        echo "0000:00:10.0" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlxsw_spectrum2/unbind
done

Fix this by enabling reload only after setup of device is complete and
disabling it at the beginning of the cleanup process.
