There is a race between driver code that does setup/cleanup of device
and devlink reload operation that in some drivers works with the same
code. Use after free could we easily obtained by running:
while true; do
echo "0000:00:10.0" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlxsw_spectrum2/bind
devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:10.0 &
echo "0000:00:10.0" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlxsw_spectrum2/unbind
done
Fix this by enabling reload only after setup of device is complete and
disabling it at the beginning of the cleanup process.

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 Restructured Text 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.
