From 5d1a04f347e6cbf5ffe74da409a5d71fbe8c5f19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maor Gottlieb Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2025 11:36:08 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: E-Switch, Initialize MAC Address for Default GID Initialize the source MAC address when creating the default GID entry. Since this entry is used only for loopback traffic, it only needs to be a unicast address. A zeroed-out MAC address is sufficient for this purpose. Without this fix, random bits would be assigned as the source address. If these bits formed a multicast address, the firmware would return an error, preventing the user from switching to switchdev mode: Error: mlx5_core: Failed setting eswitch to offloads. kernel answers: Invalid argument Fixes: 80f09dfc237f ("net/mlx5: Eswitch, enable RoCE loopback traffic") Signed-off-by: Maor Gottlieb Signed-off-by: Mark Bloch Reviewed-by: Michal Swiatkowski Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250423083611.324567-3-mbloch@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c index a42f6cd99b74..f585ef5a3424 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c @@ -118,8 +118,8 @@ static void mlx5_rdma_make_default_gid(struct mlx5_core_dev *dev, union ib_gid * static int mlx5_rdma_add_roce_addr(struct mlx5_core_dev *dev) { + u8 mac[ETH_ALEN] = {}; union ib_gid gid; - u8 mac[ETH_ALEN]; mlx5_rdma_make_default_gid(dev, &gid); return mlx5_core_roce_gid_set(dev, 0, -- 2.50.1
