Subject: [PATCH net v3] net: xilinx: axienet: Add error handling for RX metadata pointer retrieval
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 08:22:13 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250903025213.3120181-1-abin.joseph@amd.com> (raw)
Add proper error checking for dmaengine_desc_get_metadata_ptr() which
can return an error pointer and lead to potential crashes or undefined
behaviour if the pointer retrieval fails.
Properly handle the error by unmapping DMA buffer, freeing the skb and
returning early to prevent further processing with invalid data.
Fixes: 6a91b846af85 ("net: axienet: Introduce dmaengine support")
