Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/ps3: Fix failure paths in ps3_create_spu()
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2026 13:37:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804113712.60967-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

ps3_destroy_spu() expects the logical SPE to be constructed and enabled
successfully. However, ps3_create_spu() calls ps3_destroy_spu() when
either construct_spu() or enable_spu() failed.

Only free spu->pdata when construct_spu() fails. If construct_spu()
succeeded but enable_spu() fails, destruct the logical SPE before
freeing spu->pdata.

Fixes: de91a5342995 ("[POWERPC] ps3: add spu support")
