patch 'net/mlx5: fix send to kernel action resources release' has been queued to stable release 23.11.6

[Shani Peretz]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/30/25. 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/shanipr/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/shanipr/dpdk-stable/commit/413cffe7f2a2192820221c062d7875d736841b0c

Thanks.

Shani

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix send to kernel action resources release

[ upstream commit 472b0994319198090e44a7c2de1e43f0a0e0a270 ]

In the MLX5 PMD hierarchy a flow table is bound to a domain object.
A domain object can be released if it does not reference any flow
tables.

When the PMD creates a send to kernel flow action, it also creates
a dedicated flow table for that action.

The PMD called for Rx, Tx and FDB domain destruction before it
destroyed send to kernel resources - flow action and flow table.
As a result, domain destruction could not be completed.

The patch moves send to kernel actions and tables destruction before
domain destruction.

Fixes: f31a141e6478 ("net/mlx5: add send to kernel action resource holder")
