Subject: [PATCH v2 4/9] vfio/ap: Clear error object pointer after non-fatal errors
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 20:43:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921184305.3791311-5-farman@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921184305.3791311-1-farman@linux.ibm.com>

Registering a new IRQ notifier will allocate an error object if needed,
and warn_report_err() will release that memory once it's finished.
The pointer remains, however, so subsequent errors after the non-fatal
errors in vfio_ap_realize() would cause an assertion failure for a
non-NULL pointer.

Fix this by clearing the pointer once the warning has been reported,
to reset the state of the error objects.
