This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iwlwifi: fix leaks/bad data after failed firmware load to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iwlwifi-fix-leaks-bad-data-after-failed-firmware-loa.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 02fd63ec0cad12ea5e0877c15e21376c800cb9fd Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 10 11:12:42 2021 +0200 iwlwifi: fix leaks/bad data after failed firmware load [ Upstream commit ab07506b0454bea606095951e19e72c282bfbb42 ] If firmware load fails after having loaded some parts of the firmware, e.g. the IML image, then this would leak. For the host command list we'd end up running into a WARN on the next attempt to load another firmware image. Fix this by calling iwl_dealloc_ucode() on failures, and make that also clear the data so we start fresh on the next round.
