Subject: CVE-2022-49333: net/mlx5: E-Switch, pair only capable devices

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5: E-Switch, pair only capable devices

OFFLOADS paring using devcom is possible only on devices
that support LAG. Filter based on lag capabilities.

This fixes an issue where mlx5_get_next_phys_dev() was
called without holding the interface lock.

This issue was found when commit
bc4c2f2e0179 ("net/mlx5: Lag, filter non compatible devices")
added an assert that verifies the interface lock is held.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
