Subject: [PATCH net] net: mvneta: fix potential double-frees in mvneta_txq_sw_deinit()
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2023 13:11:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1phUe5-00EieL-7q@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)

Reported on the Turris forum, mvneta provokes kernel warnings in the
architecture DMA mapping code when mvneta_setup_txqs() fails to
allocate memory. This happens because when mvneta_cleanup_txqs() is
called in the mvneta_stop() path, we leave pointers in the structure
that have been freed.

Then on mvneta_open(), we call mvneta_setup_txqs(), which starts
allocating memory. On memory allocation failure, mvneta_cleanup_txqs()
will walk all the queues freeing any non-NULL pointers - which includes
pointers that were previously freed in mvneta_stop().

Fix this by setting these pointers to NULL to prevent double-freeing
of the same memory.
