However, mlx5e_resume changes the state of netif, via mlx5e_nic_enable, only if reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED. In the below case, the above leads to NULL-ptr Oops[1] and memory leaks: mlx5e_probe _mlx5e_resume mlx5e_attach_netdev mlx5e_nic_enable <-- netdev not reg, not calling netif_device_attach() register_netdev <-- failed for some reason. ERROR_FLOW: _mlx5e_suspend <-- netif_device_present return false, resources aren't freed :( Hence, clean resources in this case as well.

This one addresses CVE-2024-38608. It releases probe resources even when register_netdev() failed before device-present state. The corresponding 6.6.y backport is already in the 6.6.y stable queue. The fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y, and 7.2.y, but not in 6.1.y. The target-specific adjustment is recorded in the bracketed note above. Could you please queue it for 6.1.y? CVE: CVE-2024-38608 Upstream: 3d5918477f94e4c2f064567875c475468e264644 AI assistance: An LLM helped identify, adapt, and validate this backport; I reviewed the resulting code and validation evidence.
