CVE-2024-35959 affects the Linux kernel mlx5e network driver initialization-failure cleanup path. If mlx5e_priv_init() fails, its cleanup invokes mlx5e_selq_cleanup(), which invokes selector-queue application logic requiring priv->state_lock to be held. The affected cleanup path did not acquire that lock, causing suspicious protected RCU dereference/lockdep warnings. The upstream correction acquires state_lock in mlx5e_selq_cleanup().
