[PATCH v2 net] net/mlx5: DR, prevent potential error pointer dereference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The dr_domain_add_vport_cap() function generally returns NULL on error
but sometimes we want it to return ERR_PTR(-EBUSY) so the caller can
retry.  The problem here is that "ret" can be either -EBUSY or -ENOMEM
and if it's and -ENOMEM then the error pointer is propogated back and
eventually dereferenced in dr_ste_v0_build_src_gvmi_qpn_tag().
