Subject: [PATCH net 03/13] idpf: skip deallocating txq group's txqs if it is NULL
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 16:40:15 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220004027.729384-4-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_txq_group_alloc(), if any txq group's txqs failed to
allocate memory:

	for (j = 0; j < tx_qgrp->num_txq; j++) {
		tx_qgrp->txqs[j] = kzalloc(sizeof(*tx_qgrp->txqs[j]),
					   GFP_KERNEL);
		if (!tx_qgrp->txqs[j])
			goto err_alloc;
	}

It would cause a NULL ptr kernel panic in idpf_txq_group_rel():

	for (j = 0; j < txq_grp->num_txq; j++) {
		if (flow_sch_en) {
			kfree(txq_grp->txqs[j]->refillq);
			txq_grp->txqs[j]->refillq = NULL;
		}

		kfree(txq_grp->txqs[j]);
		txq_grp->txqs[j] = NULL;
	}

We should skip deallocating txqs[j] if it is NULL in the first place.

Tested: with this patch, the kernel panic no longer appears.
