Subject: [PATCH net] net: macb: fix dma_alloc_coherent() leak on macb_alloc() error paths
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 21:53:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918-macb-alloc-leak-v1-1-aba9a3d4f6e3@bootlin.com> (raw)

Fix 3 leaks in macb_alloc() error paths:
- Tx buffer allocated but crossing a 4G boundary: Tx leaked.
- Rx buffer allocation fails: Tx leaked.
- Rx buffer allocated but crossing a 4G boundary: Tx & Rx leaked.

This is because our error handling calls macb_free(bp) which in turn
frees the buffers stored in bp->queues[0], but nothing has been stored
in there. Fix by storing allocated buffers into bp->queues[0] ASAP.

Fixes: 78d901897b3c ("net: macb: single dma_alloc_coherent() for DMA descriptors")
