Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/11/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/638141e6c51fb350f13924c7a26f3cb2039ee098

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix deadlock in ULP timer callback

[ upstream commit 81132be766f57ad39a7fe0ad86717b9618e60889 ]

The function 'ulp_ha_mgr_timer_cb' acquires a lock on the context
entry at the beginning with bnxt_ulp_cntxt_entry_acquire(). This lock
is expected to be released by bnxt_ulp_cntxt_entry_release() at the
end of the function.

However, the second early return statement in the function could
potentially bypass the lock release. To fix this issue, add
bnxt_ulp_cntxt_entry_release() before the return statement.

Fixes: 1993b267dbcb ("net/bnxt: cleanup ULP parser and mapper")
