Subject: [PATCH net 02/13] idpf: skip deallocating bufq_sets from rx_qgrp if it is NULL
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 16:40:14 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220004027.729384-3-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260220004027.729384-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
From: Li Li <boolli@google.com>
In idpf_rxq_group_alloc(), if rx_qgrp->splitq.bufq_sets failed to get
allocated:
rx_qgrp->splitq.bufq_sets = kcalloc(vport->num_bufqs_per_qgrp,
sizeof(struct idpf_bufq_set),
GFP_KERNEL);
if (!rx_qgrp->splitq.bufq_sets) {
err = -ENOMEM;
goto err_alloc;
}
idpf_rxq_group_rel() would attempt to deallocate it in
idpf_rxq_sw_queue_rel(), causing a kernel panic:
