net/mlx5e: fix double free of encap_header in update funcs
[ Upstream commit 3a4aa3cb83563df942be49d145ee3b7ddf17d6bb ]
Follow up to the previous patch to fix the same issue for
mlx5e_tc_tun_update_header_ipv4{6} when mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc()
fails.
When mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc() fails, the encap_header allocated in
mlx5e_tc_tun_update_header_ipv4{6} will be released within it. However,
e->encap_header is already set to the previously freed encap_header
before mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc(). As a result, the later
mlx5e_encap_put() will free e->encap_header again, causing a double free
issue.
mlx5e_encap_put()
--> mlx5e_encap_dealloc()
--> kfree(e->encap_header)
This patch fix it by not setting e->encap_header until
mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc() success.
