I took a very brief look and think that the better way will be to put this "if (null)" check inside ib_umem_release() and make unconditional call to that function in all call sites. > > But on closer inspection, the bnxt_re specific portion of this patch > appears to have another problem in that it no longer checks the result > of bnxt_qplib_destroy_cq() yet it does nothing to keep that function > from failing. It was intentional for two reasons. First, bnxt_re already had exactly same logic without any checks of returned call inside bnxt_re_create_cq(). Second, we need to release kernel memory without any relation to HW state. Maybe I should move bnxt_qplib_free_hwq() to be immediately after bnxt_qplib_rcfw_send_message() inside of bnxt_qplib_destroy_cq()? > > Leon, can you send a followup fix?
