> If queue entry or DMA descriptor list allocation fails in

> NULL pointer dereference running netif_napi_del() for RX queue NAPIs
> since netif_napi_add() has never been executed to this particular RX NAPI.
> The issue is due to the early ndesc initialization in
> airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue() since airoha_qdma_cleanup() relies on ndesc
> value to check if the queue is properly initialized. Fix the issue moving
> ndesc initialization at end of airoha_qdma_init_tx routine.
> Move page_pool allocation after descriptor list allocation in order to
> avoid memory leaks if desc allocation fails.

As requested, I am commenting the issue reported by Sashiko on this patch:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260420-airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue-fix-v2-0-d99347e5c18d%40kernel.org

- Does this code leave a regression in the TX path by omitting the equivalent fix?
  This issue is not related to this patch and already fixed here:
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20260417-airoha_qdma_cleanup_tx_queue-fix-net-v4-1-e04bcc2c9642@kernel.org/

Regards,
Lorenzo
