net/mlx5: E-Switch, pair only capable devices
CVE: CVE-2022-49333
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2022-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

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.
