Subject: [PATCH next] vfio/xe: Fix use after free in xe_vfio_pci_alloc_file()
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 14:39:10 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aTLEXt_h5bWRWC0Z@stanley.mountain> (raw)

This code frees "migf" and then dereferences it on the next line to get
the error code.  Preserve the error code before freeing the pointer.

Fixes: 2e38c50ae492 ("vfio/xe: Add device specific vfio_pci driver variant for Intel graphics")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>
