[PATCH v2] qlcnic: fix a memory leak in qlcnic_sriov_set_guest_vlan_mode()
Posted by Haoxiang Li 11 months, 1 week ago
Add qlcnic_sriov_free_vlans() to free the memory allocated by
qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans() if qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans() fails
or "sriov->allowed_vlans" fails to be allocated.

Fixes: 91b7282b613d ("qlcnic: Support VLAN id config.")

Changes in v2:
- Add qlcnic_sriov_free_vlans() if qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans() fails.
- Modify the patch description.
vf_info was allocated by kcalloc, no need to do more checks cause
kfree(NULL) is safe. Thanks, Paolo!

I'm sorry for the lack of clarity in my previous reply. I think it would
be better to do this cleanup inside qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans(), so that
on error it returns with no vlan allocated.

There is another caller of qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans() which AFAICS still
leak memory on error. Handling the deallocation in
qlcnic_sriov_alloc_vlans() will address even that caller.

Thanks,

Paolo

Whoops, I forgot: please include the target tree name ('net' in this
case) in the subj prefix - in the next iteration should be 'PATCH net v3'.

Thanks,
