Replace the three sq->netdev references with\npriv->netdev which is safe because priv outlives channel teardown.\n\nThe netdev_err() call already used priv->netdev for this reason; make\nthe trylock/unlock and health_channel_eq_recover calls consistent.\n\nThis fixes the following KASAN splat:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mlx5e_tx_reporter_timeout_recover+0x1dd/0x360 [mlx5_core]\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff889860ed0b28 by task kworker/u113:2/5277\n\n  Call Trace:\n   mlx5e_tx_reporter_timeout_recover+0x1dd/0x360 [mlx5_core]\n   devlink_health_reporter_recover+0xa2/0x150\n   devlink_health_report+0x254/0x7c0\n   mlx5e_reporter_tx_timeout+0x297/0x380 [mlx5_core]\n   mlx5e_tx_timeout_work+0x109/0x170 [mlx5_core]\n   process_one_work+0x677/0xf20\n   worker_thread+0x51f/0xd90\n   kthread+0x3a5/0x810\n   ret_from_fork+0x208/0x400\n   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/152295aa7dc2c5e046606f7dadc84fce41136446","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1604a2d68414aa4cc34faac0b7faa9c14455e8d3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d260c5d2d89eb2c8c528d54b576b3aae3e20231"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:45:36.895656543+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64122","score":0.00631,"percentile":0.5027,"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).
