Subject: [PATCH] [v2] net/mlx5e: fix a potential double-free in fs_any_create_groups
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 17:29:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231128092904.2916-1-dinghao.liu@zju.edu.cn> (raw)
When kcalloc() for ft->g succeeds but kvzalloc() for in fails,
fs_any_create_groups() will free ft->g. However, its caller
fs_any_create_table() will free ft->g again through calling
mlx5e_destroy_flow_table(), which will lead to a double-free.
Fix this by setting ft->g to NULL in fs_any_create_groups().
Fixes: 0f575c20bf06 ("net/mlx5e: Introduce Flow Steering ANY API")

v2: Setting ft->g to NULL instead of removing the kfree().
