Subject: [PATCH] tg3: Fix peer device double put in tg3_find_peer()
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 10:51:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917105104.2147646-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

pci_get_slot() returns a device with its reference count incremented.
When the loop ends on tp->pdev (which happens when the adapter sits at
PCI function 7 and no other function is present) that reference has
already been dropped inside the loop, but the trailing pci_dev_put()
drops it a second time, underflowing the refcount of tp->pdev.

Treat a loop end on tp->pdev as single-port mode, just like the
existing !peer case.

Fixes: 16fe9d74f14e ("[TG3]: Fix 5704 single-port mode")
