Subject: [PATCH v2] ice: fix double free in ice_sf_eth_activate() error path
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 21:58:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319135859.690041-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
When auxiliary_device_add() fails, ice_sf_eth_activate() jumps to
aux_dev_uninit and calls auxiliary_device_uninit(&sf_dev->adev).
The device release callback ice_sf_dev_release() frees sf_dev, but
the current error path falls through to sf_dev_free and calls
kfree(sf_dev) again, causing a double free.
Keep kfree(sf_dev) for the auxiliary_device_init() failure path, but
avoid falling through to sf_dev_free after auxiliary_device_uninit().
Fixes: 13acc5c4cdbe ("ice: subfunction activation and base devlink ops")

v2:
- replace goto xa_erase with return err after auxiliary_device_uninit()
- avoid xa_erase() in the auxiliary_device_uninit() path since it is already
done in ice_sf_dev_release()
