Such command failure is being\nlogged to command stats. This results in NULL pointer access as command\nstats structure is being freed and reallocated during mlx5 devlink\nreload (see kernel log below).\n\nFix it by making command stats statically allocated on driver probe.\n\nKernel log:\n[ 2394.808802] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000000002a9c0\n[ 2394.810610] PGD 0 P4D 0\n[ 2394.811811] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI\n...\n[ 2394.815482] RIP: 0010:native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x183/0x1d0\n...\n[ 2394.829505] Call Trace:\n[ 2394.830667]  _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x23/0x26\n[ 2394.831858]  cmd_status_err+0x55/0x110 [mlx5_core]\n[ 2394.833020]  mlx5_access_reg+0xe7/0x150 [mlx5_core]\n[ 2394.834175]  mlx5_query_port_ptys+0x78/0xa0 [mlx5_core]\n[ 2394.835337]  mlx5e_ethtool_get_link_ksettings+0x74/0x590 [mlx5_core]\n[ 2394.836454]  ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x140/0x1c0\n[ 2394.837562]  __rh_call_get_link_ksettings+0x33/0x100\n[ 2394.838663]  ? __rtnl_unlock+0x25/0x50\n[ 2394.839755]  __ethtool_get_link_ksettings+0x72/0x150\n[ 2394.840862]  duplex_show+0x6e/0xc0\n[ 2394.841963]  dev_attr_show+0x1c/0x40\n[ 2394.843048]  sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x9b/0x100\n[ 2394.844123]  seq_read+0x153/0x410\n[ 2394.845187]  vfs_read+0x91/0x140\n[ 2394.846226]  ksys_read+0x4f/0xb0\n[ 2394.847234]  do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x1a0\n[ 2394.848228]  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x65/0xca","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/da2e552b469a0cd130ff70a88ccc4139da428a65","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ddf458641a511e7dff19f3bf0cbbc5dd9fe08ce5"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:54:16.205165117+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-48884","score":0.00205,"percentile":0.10502,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
