Jianbo Liu bda7b709af net/mlx5e: Prevent entering switchdev mode with inconsistent netns 
[ Upstream commit 06fdc45f16 ]

When a PF enters switchdev mode, its netdevice becomes the uplink
representor but remains in its current network namespace. All other
representors (VFs, SFs) are created in the netns of the devlink
instance.

If the PF's netns has been moved and differs from the devlink's netns,
enabling switchdev mode would create a state where the OVS control
plane (ovs-vsctl) cannot manage the switch because the PF uplink
representor and the other representors are split across different
namespaces.

To prevent this inconsistent configuration, block the request to enter
switchdev mode if the PF netdevice's netns does not match the netns of
its devlink instance.

As part of this change, the PF's netns is first marked as immutable.
This prevents race conditions where the netns could be changed after
the check is performed but before the mode transition is complete, and
it aligns the PF's behavior with that of the final uplink representor.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
