According to the documentation, the function priv_set_flags(priv, keep, flags) should not modify the flags in "keep" mask.
So 'flags' argument should be masked with '~keep' before ORing it with the previous flags value. This avoids to mess the kernel interface flags when calling priv_set_flags(priv, ~IFF_UP, ~IFF_UP) in priv_set_link(): $ ip link 26: eth0: BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,ALLMULTI,PROMISC,DEBUG,\ DYNAMIC,AUTOMEDIA,PORTSEL,NOTRAILERS Fixes: 7fae69eeff13 ("mlx4: new poll mode driver") Fixes: 771fa900b73a ("mlx5: introduce new driver for Mellanox ConnectX-4 adapters") Reported-by: Fengtian Guo <fengtian.guo at 6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Olivier Matz <olivier.matz at 6wind.com> --- drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c | 2 +- drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_ethdev.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c b/drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c index f8ed42b..1dd14f4 100644 --- a/drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c +++ b/drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c @@ -689,7 +689,7 @@ priv_set_flags(struct priv *priv, unsigned int keep, unsigned int flags) if (priv_get_sysfs_ulong(priv, "flags", &tmp) == -1) return -1; tmp &= keep; - tmp |= flags; + tmp |= (flags & (~keep)); return priv_set_sysfs_ulong(priv, "flags", tmp); } diff --git a/drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_ethdev.c b/drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_ethdev.c index 0e7ed01..6fef902 100644 --- a/drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_ethdev.c +++ b/drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_ethdev.c @@ -461,7 +461,7 @@ priv_set_flags(struct priv *priv, unsigned int keep, unsigned int flags) if (priv_get_sysfs_ulong(priv, "flags", &tmp) == -1) return -1; tmp &= keep; - tmp |= flags; + tmp |= (flags & (~keep)); return priv_set_sysfs_ulong(priv, "flags", tmp); } -- 2.8.1
