In addition, in case of peer_flow,\n__mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() is called while holding ESW devcom comp lock.\nThis results in an AA deadlock.\n\nTo fix this, introduce a new PEER flag that is set on flows created as\npeer flows (the duplicate flows on peer devices), and check it in\nmlx5e_tc_del_flow() before acquiring ESW devcom lock.\n\nLockdep splat:\n============================================\nWARNING: possible recursive locking detected\n============================================\n Possible unsafe locking scenario:\n       CPU0\n       ----\n  lock(&comp->lock_key#2);\n  lock(&comp->lock_key#2);\n *** DEADLOCK ***\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n dump_stack_lvl+0x69/0xa0\n print_deadlock_bug.cold+0xbd/0xca\n __lock_acquire+0x1671/0x2ec0\n lock_acquire+0x10e/0x2e0\n down_read+0x95/0x430\n mlx5_devcom_for_each_peer_begin+0x4e/0xe0 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_tc_del_flow+0x11d/0xa70 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_flow_put+0x99/0x100 [mlx5_core]\n __mlx5e_add_fdb_flow+0x409/0xf00 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_configure_flower+0x2a86/0x4100 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_rep_setup_tc_cls_flower+0x12f/0x1b0 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_rep_setup_tc_cb+0x153/0x750 [mlx5_core]\n tc_setup_cb_add+0x1dc/0x470\n fl_change+0x2f4d/0x626d [cls_flower]\n tc_new_tfilter+0x79b/0x2310\n rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x778/0xad0\n do_syscall_64+0x70/0x960\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53\n </TASK>","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/585df8643081e6f616579bc52cd49ac823a57c82","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/607adbda01053abf5f93e322fe39325da8828cb8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6ddfba2ea98db21b001e0e5c472499156224650c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7165fe321c61ec138850c02f030f274797761f5f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ead5145d290a918b7c3c3141a64b3f827a9e1b6b"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-30T13:47:47.119061695+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80739","score":0.00168,"percentile":0.06112,"date":"2026-10-30"},"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).
