Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: TC, Check if flow is PEER before acquiring devcom lock In case __mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() fails in lower levels, the flow is deleted via mlx5e_tc_del_flow(), and mlx5e_tc_del_flow() is acquiring ESW devcom lock without condition. In addition, in case of peer_flow, __mlx5e_add_fdb_flow() is called while holding ESW devcom comp lock. This results in an AA deadlock. To fix this, introduce a new PEER flag that is set on flows created as peer flows (the duplicate flows on peer devices), and check it in mlx5e_tc_del_flow() before acquiring ESW devcom lock.
