Subject: [PATCH net v5 5/6] bnxt_en: Propagate RX ring init failures in bnxt_init_nic()
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 18:56:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902015652.2421609-6-joe@dama.to> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902015652.2421609-1-joe@dama.to>

bnxt_init_rx_rings() returns an error when bnxt_alloc_one_rx_ring()
fails, but bnxt_init_nic() discards that return value and calls
bnxt_init_chip(), which enables TPA.

If an allocation fails, this could leave rxr->rx_tpa[] partially zeroed
and TPA would be enabled over an array with zeroed entries. This would
lead to a zeroed DMA address being handed out if the agg_idx is
translated to a SW index at a zeroed entry.

Fix this by propagating the error out of bnxt_init_nic(). Both callers
already check its return value and unwind with bnxt_free_skbs() and
bnxt_free_mem(), which tolerate a partially initialized RX ring.

Fixes: c0c050c58d84 ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")
