From 9994ad4df82d64e57135c0f0906897685f5a9e87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gal Pressman Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 23:28:51 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e: Fix features not applied during netdev registration mlx5e_fix_features() returns early when the netdevice is not present. This is correct during profile transitions where priv is cleared, but it also incorrectly blocks feature fixups during register_netdev(), when the device is also not yet present. It is not trivial to distinguish between both cases as we cannot use priv to carry state, and in both cases reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED. Force a netdev features update after register_netdev() completes, where the device is present and fix_features() can actually work. This is not a pretty solution, as it results in an additional features update call (register_netdevice() already calls __netdev_update_features() internally), but it is the simplest, cleanest, and most robust way I found to fix this issue after multiple attempts. This fixes an issue on systems where CQE compression is enabled by default, RXHASH remains enabled after registration despite the two features being mutually exclusive.
