Subject: Re: [PATCH net 2/2] ibmveth: fix TX LTB and filter unwind on open-fail
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:08:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fqyx1753.fsf@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <d14314c2b10f125f5e578782484ba3cc50564d53.1790357373.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com> (Mingming Cao's message of "Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:05:30 -0700")
Mingming Cao <mmc@linux.ibm.com> writes:
> out_free_buffer_pools reuses open()'s loop index for the TX LTB
> walk. After the pool unwind i is -1, so the TX buffers allocated
> earlier are leaked. request_irq() failure has the same leak.
>
> The TX-fail goto on that walk also skips dma_unmap of the filter
> list (pre-existing since the LTB was added). Rewrite the TX walk
> to real_num_tx_queues with a pointer check, and unmap the filter
> list before those frees.
