Since this entry is used only for loopback traffic, it only needs to be a unicast address. A zeroed-out MAC address is sufficient for this purpose. Without this fix, random bits would be assigned as the source address. If these bits formed a multicast address, the firmware would return an error, preventing the user from switching to switchdev mode: Error: mlx5_core: Failed setting eswitch to offloads. kernel answers: Invalid argument Fixes: 80f09dfc237f ("net/mlx5: Eswitch, enable RoCE loopback traffic") Signed-off-by: Maor Gottlieb Signed-off-by: Mark Bloch Reviewed-by: Michal Swiatkowski Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250423083611.324567-3-mbloch@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c index a42f6cd99b744..f585ef5a34243 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/rdma.c @@ -118,8 +118,8 @@ static void mlx5_rdma_make_default_gid(struct mlx5_core_dev *dev, union ib_gid * static int mlx5_rdma_add_roce_addr(struct mlx5_core_dev *dev) { + u8 mac[ETH_ALEN] = {}; union ib_gid gid; - u8 mac[ETH_ALEN]; mlx5_rdma_make_default_gid(dev, &gid); return mlx5_core_roce_gid_set(dev, 0,
