Replace the three sq->netdev references with\npriv->netdev which is safe because priv outlives channel teardown.\n\nThe netdev_err() call already used priv->netdev for this reason; make\nthe trylock/unlock and health_channel_eq_recover calls consistent.\n\nThis fixes the following KASAN splat:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mlx5e_tx_reporter_timeout_recover+0x1dd/0x360 [mlx5_core]\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff889860ed0b28 by task kworker/u113:2/5277\n\n  Call Trace:\n   mlx5e_tx_reporter_timeout_recover+0x1dd/0x360 [mlx5_core]\n   devlink_health_reporter_recover+0xa2/0x150\n   devlink_health_report+0x254/0x7c0\n   mlx5e_reporter_tx_timeout+0x297/0x380 [mlx5_core]\n   mlx5e_tx_timeout_work+0x109/0x170 [mlx5_core]\n   process_one_work+0x677/0xf20\n   worker_thread+0x51f/0xd90\n   kthread+0x3a5/0x810\n   ret_from_fork+0x208/0x400\n   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30","published":"2026-07-19T16:17:54.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-13T15:11:37.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-416"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00631,"percentile":0.50049,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.63%).
