Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Amir Vadai <amirv@...lanox.com>, Tal Alon <talal@...lanox.com>, Ido Shamay <idos@...lanox.com>, Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@...lanox.com> Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net/mlx4_en: Call register_netdevice in the proper location From: Ido Shamay <idos@...lanox.com> Netdevice registration should be performed a the end of the driver initialization flow. If we don't do that, after calling register_netdevice, device callbacks may be issued by higher layers of the stack before final configuration of the device is done. For example (VXLAN configuration race), mlx4_SET_PORT_VXLAN was issued after the register_netdev command. System network scripts may configure the interface (UP) right after the registration, which also attach unicast VXLAN steering rule, before mlx4_SET_PORT_VXLAN was called, causing the firmware to fail the rule attachment.
