Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] ibmveth: fix TX LTB and filter unwind on open-fail
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:05:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d14314c2b10f125f5e578782484ba3cc50564d53.1790357373.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790357373.git.mmc@linux.ibm.com>
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.
Fixes: d926793c1de9 ("ibmveth: Implement multi queue on xmit")
