Subject: [PATCH net 6/6] ethtool: rss: avoid device context leak on reply-build failure
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 16:06:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522230647.1705600-7-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260522230647.1705600-1-kuba@kernel.org>

We wait with filling the reply for new RSS context creation
until after the driver ->create_rxfh_context call. The driver
needs to fill some of the defaults in the context. The failure
of rss_fill_reply() is somewhat theoretical, but doesn't take
much effort to handle it properly. Call ->remove_rxfh_context().

If the driver's remove callback fails (some implementations like sfc
can return real command errors from firmware RPCs) - skip the xa_erase
and kfree, leaving the context in the xarray. This matches how
ethnl_rss_delete_doit() behaves.

Fixes: a166ab7816c5 ("ethtool: rss: support creating contexts via Netlink")
