[PATCH net 7/9] net/mlx5e: Properly access RCU protected qdisc_sleeping variable
From: Mark Bloch
Date: Tue Jun 10 2025 - 11:21:43 EST
From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx>
qdisc_sleeping variable is declared as "struct Qdisc __rcu" and
as such needs proper annotation while accessing it.
Without rtnl_dereference(), the following error is generated by smatch:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en/qos.c:377:40: warning:
incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en/qos.c:377:40: expected
struct Qdisc *qdisc
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en/qos.c:377:40: got struct
Qdisc [noderef] __rcu *qdisc_sleeping
Fixes: 214baf22870c ("net/mlx5e: Support HTB offload")
