In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: Handle pairing of E-switch via uplink un/load APIs In case user switch a device from switchdev mode to legacy mode, mlx5 first unpair the E-switch and afterwards unload the uplink vport. From the other hand, in case user remove or reload a device, mlx5 first unload the uplink vport and afterwards unpair the E-switch. The latter is causing a bug[1], hence, handle pairing of E-switch as part of uplink un/load APIs. [
