More precisely, sometimes it was nullptr deref at address 0x00000034
and sometimes general protection fault.
Bisect has lead to commit bc4c2f2e0179 ("net/mlx5: Lag, filter non
compatible devices"). However, turned out that those added cap
checks only revealed the already present problem:
mlx5_get_next_dev() doesn't perform any checks if a device belongs
to the mlx5 auxbus, starting dereferencing it as a structure
embedded into &mlx5_adev right from the start. Simple debug print
says the following:

It was only a good luck previously that this wasn't triggering any
other faults. It is also not common I guess to have several auxbus
drivers on one machine :)
Anyways, fix this by filtering the devices passed from
bus_find_device(). In case with mlx5, they all have "mlx5_core"
prefix defined by %MLX5_ADEV_NAME, so use it here. The results:

[ 833.042660] auxiliary mlx5_core.eth.0: next auxdev
[ 833.042666] auxiliary mlx5_core.rdma.0: next auxdev
[ 833.042670] auxiliary mlx5_core.eth.1: next auxdev

We have a similar patch that is being reviewed internally.
I don't like comparing strings to match devices. Also this could cause mlx5
unwanted aux devices to be matched, e.g mlx5e, mlx5_ib, mlx5v, etc .., since
they all share the same prefix ? yes, no ?
We also have another patch/approach that is comparing drivers:

if (dev->driver != curr->device->driver)
return NULL;

But also this is under discussion.

I think the whole design of this function is wrong, it's being used to match
devices of type mlx5_core_dev which are pci devices, but it is using aux class
to lookup! It works since we always have some aux devices hanging on top of
mlx5_core pci devs and since all of them share the same wrapper structure
"mlx5_adev" we find the corresponding mdev "mlx5_core_dev" sort of correctly.
