From: Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9414277a5df3669c67e818708c0f881597e0118e ] In below code flow, for ingress acl table root ns memory leads to double free. mlx5_init_fs init_ingress_acls_root_ns() init_ingress_acl_root_ns kfree(steering->esw_ingress_root_ns); /* steering->esw_ingress_root_ns is not marked NULL */ mlx5_cleanup_fs cleanup_ingress_acls_root_ns steering->esw_ingress_root_ns non NULL check passes. kfree(steering->esw_ingress_root_ns); /* double free */ Similar issue exist for other tables. Hence zero out the pointers to not process the table again.
