Subject: [PATCH net-next] cxgb4vf: fix memleak in mac_hlist initialization
Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2018 14:52:01 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181109092201.17546-1-arjun@chelsio.com> (raw)
mac_hlist was initialized during adapter_up, which will be called
every time a vf device is first brought up, or every time when device
is brought up again after bringing all devices down. This means our
state of previous list is lost, causing a memleak if entries are
present in the list. To fix that, move list init to the condition
that performs initial one time adapter setup.
