Subject: [PATCH v2] net/mlx4_en: Fix an error handling path in 'mlx4_en_init_netdev()'
Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 09:06:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180510070604.19635-1-christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> (raw)

If an error occurs, 'mlx4_en_destroy_netdev()' is called.
It then calls 'mlx4_en_free_resources()' which does the needed resources
cleanup.

So, doing some explicit kfree in the error handling path would lead to
some double kfree.

Simplify code to avoid such a case.

Fixes: 67f8b1dcb9ee ("net/mlx4_en: Refactor the XDP forwarding rings scheme")

v1 -> v2 : rewrite the fix as explained by Tariq Toukan
           (this 2nd version may have been posted twice, once without the
           v2 tag. PLease ignore the first one)
