Subject: [PATCH net v2 04/12] idpf: nullify pointers after they are freed
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 13:15:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225211546.1949260-5-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225211546.1949260-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
From: Li Li <boolli@google.com>
rss_data->rss_key needs to be nullified after it is freed.
Checks like "if (!rss_data->rss_key)" in the code could fail
if it is not nullified.
Tested: built and booted the kernel.
Fixes: 83f38f210b85 ("idpf: Fix RSS LUT NULL pointer crash on early ethtool operations")
