Subject: [PATCH] hw/net/rocker: Avoid double-free of l2_flood.group_ids
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 19:35:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324193530.375628-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)

In of_dpa_cmd_add_l2_flood(), we allocate memory for the
group->l2_flood.group_ids array, freeing any previous array.
However, in the error-exit path we free the group_ids memory but do
not clear the pointer to NULL.  This means that if the guest causes
us to take the error-exit path and then later call the function
again, we will try again to free the memory we already freed.

Fix this by clearing the group_ids pointer in the error exit
path, so we maintain the invariant of "either it points at
allocated memory, or it is NULL" (both being valid to g_free()).
