Subject: [PATCH net] i40e: fix IRQ freeing in i40e_vsi_request_irq_msix error path
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 17:39:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250818153903.189079-1-mschmidt@redhat.com> (raw)
If request_irq() in i40e_vsi_request_irq_msix() fails in an iteration
later than the first, the error path wants to free the IRQs requested
so far. However, it uses the wrong dev_id argument for free_irq(), so
it does not free the IRQs correctly and instead triggers the warning:
Trying to free already-free IRQ 173

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
Use the same dev_id for free_irq() as for request_irq().
I tested this with inserting code to fail intentionally.
