net/mlx5e: fix double free of encap_header
[ Upstream commit 6f9b1a0731662648949a1c0587f6acb3b7f8acf1 ]
When mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc() fails, the encap_header allocated in
mlx5e_tc_tun_create_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 happens when cmd: MLX5_CMD_OP_ALLOC_PACKET_REFORMAT_CONTEXT fail.
This patch fix it by not setting e->encap_header until
mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc() success.
Fixes: d589e785baf5e ("net/mlx5e: Allow concurrent creation of encap entries")
