Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net/bnxt/tf_core: fix ignored return of EM delete
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 07:43:43 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519044344.9544-2-denserg.edu@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260519044344.9544-1-denserg.edu@gmail.com>
The return value of tfc_em_delete_raw() in tfc_em_delete() was
silently discarded: rc was unconditionally overwritten by the
subsequent tfc_cpm_get_cmm_inst() call without any error check.
If tfc_em_delete_raw() fails, the HW EM entry is not removed but
the function continues to free the corresponding SW pool entry,
creating a HW/SW state inconsistency that can lead to stale flow
matches or incorrect pool slot reuse.
Add an error check after the call and return -EINVAL on failure.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
