6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bernardo Soares [ Upstream commit 2e51097c982b7b22382fda3202ba29f0ea33e8c0 ] mlx5_esw_bridge_vport_unlink() returns -EINVAL when the port isn't tracked by this instance's br_offloads. This is reachable on a sibling instance that registered its notifier after the port was already enslaved: it never saw the NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER link event, so peer_link() never created a peer port for it, but it does see the later unlink event and fails. Return 0 instead, and give mlx5_esw_bridge_vport_peer_unlink() the same merged_eswitch capability guard peer_link() already has, since without it peer_link() likewise never creates a port to unlink. This also matters beyond the -EINVAL itself: mlx5_esw_bridge_switchdev_port_event() runs on the per-netns netdev_chain, and notifier_from_errno(-EINVAL) sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK, which call_netdevice_notifiers_info() checks to stop calling further listeners on that chain - so the old -EINVAL silently dropped the event for any listener registered later on the same chain, even though none of it was visible to user space since __netdev_upper_dev_unlink() discards the return value.
