Subject: [PATCH] net: pch_gbe: handle TX skb allocation failure
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 00:30:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608163005.6-1-ruoyuw560@gmail.com> (raw)
pch_gbe_alloc_tx_buffers() allocates an skb for each TX descriptor and
then passes the returned pointer to skb_reserve(). If netdev_alloc_skb()
fails, skb_reserve() dereferences NULL.
Make pch_gbe_alloc_tx_buffers() return an error when an skb allocation
fails. On failure while bringing the device up, clean any TX buffers that
were already allocated and release the RX buffer pool through a shared
cleanup helper before unwinding the IRQ setup.
Fixes: 77555ee72282 ("net: Add Gigabit Ethernet driver of Topcliff PCH")
