[PATCH 4.9 21/33] net/mlx5: Avoid cleaning flow steering table twice during error flow

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Talat Batheesh <talatb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9c26f5f89d01ca21560c6b8a8e4054c271cc3a9c ]

When we fail to initialize the RX root namespace, we need
to clean only that and not the entire flow steering.

Currently the code may try to clean the flow steering twice
on error witch leads to null pointer deference.
Make sure we clean correctly.
