Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: TC, skip peer flow cleanup when LAG seq is unavailable
mlx5_lag_get_dev_seq() will return error when the peer isn't in the LAG
or when no device is marked as master. Result bad memory access and kernel
crash[1].
Hence, skip the peer when lookup fails.
Note: In case there are peer flows, they are cleaned before LAG cleared
the master mark.
