This reverts commit c0a40097f0bc81deafc15f9195d1fb54595cd6d0.
Probing a device can take arbitrary long time. In the field we observed
that, for example, probing a bad micro-SD cards in an external USB card
reader (or maybe cards were good but cables were flaky) sometimes takes
longer than 2 minutes due to multiple retries at various levels of the
stack. We can not block uevent_show() method for that long because udev
is reading that attribute very often and that blocks udev and interferes
with booting of the system.
The change that introduced locking was concerned with dev_uevent()
racing with unbinding the driver. However we can handle it without
locking (which will be done in subsequent patch).
There was also claim that synchronization with probe() is needed to
properly load USB drivers, however this is a red herring: the change
adding the lock was introduced in May of last year and USB loading and
probing worked properly for many years before that.
Revert the harmful locking.

2.49.0.rc0.332.g42c0ae87b1-goog
Add qlcnic_sriov_free_vlans() to free the memory allocated by
qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans() if qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans() fails
or "sriov->allowed_vlans" fails to be allocated.

Changes in v2:
- Add qlcnic_sriov_free_vlans() if qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans() fails.
- Modify the patch description.
vf_info was allocated by kcalloc, no need to do more checks cause
kfree(NULL) is safe. Thanks, Paolo!

2.25.1
Hi,
please apply f24f669d03f8 for 6.12.y.
It is already in 6.13.y.
Backports of that patch would be needed for 6.6.y down to 5.4.y as it
doesn't apply.
But I don't know how to backport that fix but I can test anything.
Thomas
In mlx5_chains_create_table(), the return value of mlx5_get_fdb_sub_ns()
and mlx5_get_flow_namespace() must be checked to prevent NULL pointer
dereferences. If either function fails, the function should log error
message with mlx5_core_warn() and return error pointer.
[v1]->[v2]:
Add Fixes tag.
Target patch to net.
Change return value from NULL to ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP)
Fixes: ae430332557a ("net/mlx5: Refactor multi chains and prios support")
