Subject: net: cavium: liquidio: Avoid dma_unmap_single on uninitialized ndata
From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 8e6ce7ebeb34f0992f56de078c3744fb383657fa upstream.
The label lio_xmit_failed is used 3 times through liquidio_xmit() but it
always makes a call to dma_unmap_single() using potentially
uninitialized variables from "ndata" variable. Out of the 3 gotos, 2 run
after ndata has been initialized, and had a prior dma_map_single() call.
Fix this by adding a new error label: lio_xmit_dma_failed which does
this dma_unmap_single() and then processed with the lio_xmit_failed
fallthrough.
Fixes: f21fb3ed364bb ("Add support of Cavium Liquidio ethernet adapters")
