Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] ibmveth: h_free logical LAN on open-fail after register
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:05:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7a56fbfb9e0674f011f4e310fbd7dfd8e67c30aa.1790357373.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790357373.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com>

ibmveth_open() registers the logical LAN, then allocates the RX
buffer pools. A pool failure jumps to out_free_buffer_pools without
h_free_logical_lan(), so PHYP still owns the buffer-list page when
it is unmapped. request_irq() failure already issued the hypercall
before taking the same label.

Move that h_free to the shared post-register unwind so both paths
deregister before the buffer list is unmapped.

Fixes: d43732ce021f ("ibmveth: properly unwind on init errors")
