[PULL 2/5] hw/net/rocker: Avoid double-free of l2_flood.group_ids
Posted by Peter Maydell 2 days, 6 hours ago
In of_dpa_cmd_add_l2_flood(), we allocate memory for the
group->l2_flood.group_ids array, freeing any previous array.
However, in the error-exit path we free the group_ids memory but do
not clear the pointer to NULL.  This means that if the guest causes
us to take the error-exit path and then later call the function
again, we will try again to free the memory we already freed.

Fix this by clearing the group_ids pointer in the error exit
path, so we maintain the invariant of "either it points at
allocated memory, or it is NULL" (both being valid to g_free()).
