However, the cited commit didn't modify\nmlx5e_invalidate_encap() which prevents it from destroying correct modify\nheader action which leads to a warning [0]. Fix the issue by using correct\nattribute.\n\n[0]:\n\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel: WARNING: CPU: 17 PID: 654 at drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_tc.c:684 mlx5e_tc_attach_mod_hdr+0x1cc/0x230 [mlx5_core]\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel: RIP: 0010:mlx5e_tc_attach_mod_hdr+0x1cc/0x230 [mlx5_core]\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel: Call Trace:\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  <TASK>\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  mlx5e_tc_fib_event_work+0x8e3/0x1f60 [mlx5_core]\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  ? mlx5e_take_all_encap_flows+0xe0/0xe0 [mlx5_core]\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  ? lock_downgrade+0x6d0/0x6d0\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  ? lockdep_hardirqs_on_prepare+0x273/0x3f0\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  ? lockdep_hardirqs_on_prepare+0x273/0x3f0\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  process_one_work+0x7c2/0x1310\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  ? lockdep_hardirqs_on_prepare+0x3f0/0x3f0\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  ? pwq_dec_nr_in_flight+0x230/0x230\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  ? rwlock_bug.part.0+0x90/0x90\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  worker_thread+0x59d/0xec0\nFeb 21 09:47:35 c-237-177-40-045 kernel:  ? __kthread_parkme+0xd9/0x1d0","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/00959a1bad58e4b6c14a2729f84d354255073609","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b8b4292fdd8818ab43b943b6717811651f51e39f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be071cdb167fc3e25fe81922166b3d499d23e8ac"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:18:08.089039631+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-54074","score":0.00152,"percentile":0.04367,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
