Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: fix NULL pointer dereference in bnx2x_free_mem_bp()
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:33:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817033332.175665-1-yijiangshan@kylinos.cn> (raw)

bnx2x_alloc_mem_bp() sets bp->fp_array_size before allocating bp->fp.
If the fp allocation fails, the error path calls bnx2x_free_mem_bp(),
which dereferences bp->fp in a loop bounded by the non-zero
bp->fp_array_size, causing a NULL pointer dereference.

Move the bp->fp_array_size assignment to after bp->fp is set, and
add a NULL guard in bnx2x_free_mem_bp().

Fixes: c3146eb676e7c ("bnx2x: Correct memory preparation and release")
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260815122149.951215-1-yijiangshan%40kylinos.cn
