Subject: [PATCH] net: netcp: Fix crash in error path when DMA channel open fails
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 10:08:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250926150853.2907028-1-nm@ti.com> (raw)
When knav_dma_open_channel() fails in netcp_setup_navigator_resources(),
the rx_channel field is set to an ERR_PTR value. Later, when
netcp_free_navigator_resources() is called in the error path, it attempts
to close this invalid channel pointer, causing a crash.
Add a check for ERR values to handle the failure scenario.
Fixes: 84640e27f230 ("net: netcp: Add Keystone NetCP core driver")
