Subject: [PATCH v2 07/11] net/tap: fix resource leaks in secondary process probe
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 15:02:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216230437.847578-8-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216230437.847578-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
Four error paths in the secondary-process branch of
rte_pmd_tap_probe() returned -1 without cleanup:
- primary process not alive: leaked eth_dev
- process_private malloc failure: leaked eth_dev
- tap_mp_attach_queues failure: leaked eth_dev and process_private
- rte_mp_action_register failure: leaked eth_dev and process_private
Add secondary_fail and secondary_fail_pp labels to free
process_private and release the ethdev port.
Bugzilla ID: 1881
Fixes: c9aa56edec8e ("net/tap: access primary process queues from secondary")
