Subject: [PATCH] net: winbond-840: release IRQ on alloc_ringdesc() error path
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 00:21:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008162109.2678143-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
netdev_open() registers the shared IRQ with request_irq() and then calls
alloc_ringdesc(). When alloc_ringdesc() fails, the error path jumps to
out_err, which only calls netif_device_attach() and returns. The IRQ
handler stays registered forever: net/core/dev.c never calls ndo_stop
when ndo_open fails, so netdev_close(), the only place that frees the
IRQ, is never reached. The leaked handler is also left enabled on an
uninitialised device.
Add a separate out_err_free_irq label that releases the IRQ before
returning the allocation error, mirroring the cleanup already used by
the sibling de2104x driver.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
