Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net/mlx5e: psp: Fix invalid access on PSP dev registration fail
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 08:02:00 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417050201.192070-2-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260417050201.192070-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>
From: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@nvidia.com>
priv->psp->psp is initialized with the PSP device as returned by
psp_dev_create(). This could also return an error, in which case a
future psp_dev_unregister() will result in unpleasantness.
Avoid that by using a local variable and only saving the PSP device when
registration succeeds.
Also apply some light refactoring of the functions managing the PSP
device in order to make them more readable/safe.
Fixes: 89ee2d92f66c ("net/mlx5e: Support PSP offload functionality")
