Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx5e: Fix oops from ERR_PTR in act-miss restore teardown
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:48:36 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611134836.534015-1-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)

From: Lama Kayal <lkayal@nvidia.com>

Restore-rule creation stores ERR_PTR(errno) in act_id_restore_rule
on failure.  Teardown still called mlx5_del_flow_rules() with that
value, which dereferenced it like a real mlx5_flow_handle and could
crash.

Clear act_id_restore_rule to NULL in the error branch after
esw_add_restore_rule() fails so teardown only sees NULL or a valid
handle.

Call Trace:
