Subject: [PATCH net] net: txgbe: fix FDIR filter leak on remove
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:19:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713091911.1614795-1-chenguang.zhao@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Chenguang Zhao <zhaochenguang@kylinos.cn>

Perfect FDIR filters can be added while the interface is down and are
kept on the software list for later restore. unregister_netdev() only
calls ndo_stop when the device is up, so txgbe_fdir_filter_exit() in
txgbe_close() is skipped in that case and the filters are leaked on
driver remove. Free the filter list from txgbe_remove() as well.

Fixes: 4bdb441105dc ("net: txgbe: support Flow Director perfect filters")
Signed-off-by: Chenguang Zhao <zhaochenguang@kylinos.cn>

Reproduction:
 1. Load the driver (interface remains down after probe).
 2. Enable ntuple filters: ethtool -K <dev> ntuple on
 3. Add a perfect FDIR rule while the interface is down:
   ethtool -N <dev> flow-type ...
 4. Keep the interface down (do not bring it up).
 5. Unload the driver (rmmod / PCI unbind).
   unregister_netdev() skips ndo_stop because the device is not IFF_UP,
   and without freeing the software filter list in remove, each rule
   leaks sizeof(struct txgbe_fdir_filter).
