Subject: [PATCH] net/nfp: fix null dereference in flower ctrl NFD3 Tx
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 08:51:56 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603055211.120315-1-denserg.edu@gmail.com> (raw)
In nfp_flower_ctrl_vnic_nfd3_xmit(), when txq is NULL, goto xmit_end
leads to unconditional dereference of txq->qcp_q in nfp_qcp_ptr_add().
The same goto from the "no free descriptors" path incorrectly increments
the hardware write pointer despite no descriptor being written.
Replace both gotos with early return, removing the unused xmit_end label.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
