Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] net/bnxt: fix memory leak in VF VNIC query error path
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 18:24:23 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929002424.1208457-5-Mohammad-Shuab.Siddique@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929002424.1208457-1-Mohammad-Shuab.Siddique@broadcom.com>
From: Kishore Padmanabha <kishore.padmanabha@broadcom.com>
bnxt_hwrm_func_vf_vnic_query_and_config() allocates vnic_ids before
calling bnxt_hwrm_func_vf_vnic_query(), but returns without freeing it
when that call fails.
Free vnic_ids on the error path too.
Fixes: 49947a13ba9e ("net/bnxt: support Tx loopback, set VF MAC and queues drop")
