[PATCH v5] wifi: ath11k: fix resource leak on error in ext IRQ setup

[PATCH v5] wifi: ath11k: fix resource leak on error in ext IRQ setup

[ZhaoJinming]

In ath11k_ahb_config_irq(), when a CE request_irq() fails, the function
returns the error immediately without freeing the CE IRQs that were
successfully registered in previous loop iterations. The probe error
path does not call ath11k_ahb_free_irq() either, so the previously
registered CE IRQ handlers remain attached to the interrupt lines and
are never released.

In ath11k_ahb_config_ext_irq(), when an external request_irq() fails,
the error is only logged and the loop continues. The function then
returns 0 indicating success, leaving the device in a partially
configured state where some external IRQs are not registered. This
causes enable_irq()/disable_irq()/free_irq() to be called on
unregistered IRQs during runtime and remove/shutdown, triggering
WARN_ON(!desc->action), and missing interrupt handlers lead to data
loss.

Additionally, if alloc_netdev_dummy() fails for a later IRQ group, the
function returns -ENOMEM without freeing the ext IRQs and napi_ndev
that were successfully set up for earlier groups.

Fix all three issues: propagate the error up to the caller and unwind
all successfully registered IRQs and allocated resources on failure.

Changes in v5:
- Version bump only. Same content as v4, resent as a fresh thread per
  maintainer request to avoid subject collision with the v4 reply.
- Reviewed-by: Baochen Qiang <baochen.qiang@oss.qualcomm.com>

Changes in v4:
- Drop the napi_ndev NULL guard in ath11k_ahb_free_ext_irq_grp() as it
  is unreachable in all existing call paths. A silent guard against an
  impossible condition hides bugs instead of exposing them.

Changes in v3:
- Extract ath11k_ahb_free_ext_irq_grp() to handle per-group ext IRQ
  cleanup and refactor ath11k_ahb_free_ext_irq() to use it.
- On request_irq() failure in ath11k_ahb_config_ext_irq(), immediately
  clean up the current group via ath11k_ahb_free_ext_irq_grp() before
  jumping to the error label to unwind earlier groups.
- Move u32 num_irq declaration before the irq_grp assignment to follow
  declaration-before-statement ordering.
- Extract ath11k_ahb_free_ce_irqs() to handle partial/full CE IRQ cleanup
  and refactor ath11k_ahb_free_irq() to use it, replacing the duplicated
  err_ce_irq cleanup loop in ath11k_ahb_config_irq().

Changes in v2:
- Move `irq_grp` declaration from for-loop body to function scope to fix
  compile error in err_request_irq error path.
- Set ret = -ENOMEM before goto err_request_irq on alloc_netdev_dummy()
  failure to avoid returning uninitialized value.
- When ath11k_ahb_config_ext_irq() fails, unwind the already-registered
  CE IRQs via a shared err_ce_irq cleanup path to avoid leaking them.

I have given my Reviewed-by: tag in the v4 review. Since v5 is identical to v4 you should
pick it.

my review agent noted in inconsistency between this logic and the CE IRQ logic

just above here, after the platform_get_irq_byname() in the prior chunk, is
the assignment:
			ab->irq_num[irq_idx] = irq;

that assignment takes place before the request_irq() function is called and
error checked

in the CE IRQ logic (see below) the assignment doesn't take place until after
the request_irq() function is called and error checked. so consider relocating
that assignment to after the if block below

so assign here?

[PATCH v6] wifi: ath11k: fix resource leak on error in ext IRQ setup

[ZhaoJinming]

In ath11k_ahb_config_irq(), when a CE request_irq() fails, the function
returns the error immediately without freeing the CE IRQs that were
successfully registered in previous loop iterations. The probe error
path does not call ath11k_ahb_free_irq() either, so the previously
registered CE IRQ handlers remain attached to the interrupt lines and
are never released.

In ath11k_ahb_config_ext_irq(), when an external request_irq() fails,
the error is only logged and the loop continues. The function then
returns 0 indicating success, leaving the device in a partially
configured state where some external IRQs are not registered. This
causes enable_irq()/disable_irq()/free_irq() to be called on
unregistered IRQs during runtime and remove/shutdown, triggering
WARN_ON(!desc->action), and missing interrupt handlers lead to data
loss.

Additionally, if alloc_netdev_dummy() fails for a later IRQ group, the
function returns -ENOMEM without freeing the ext IRQs and napi_ndev
that were successfully set up for earlier groups.

Fix all three issues: propagate the error up to the caller and unwind
all successfully registered IRQs and allocated resources on failure.
Also move ab->irq_num[irq_idx] assignment after request_irq() succeeds
in the ext IRQ path to match the CE IRQ path and avoid storing a stale
IRQ number on failure.

Changes in v6:
- Move ab->irq_num[irq_idx] = irq after request_irq() succeeds in the
  ext IRQ path to match the CE IRQ logic and avoid storing a stale IRQ
  number on failure.

Changes in v5:
- Resend as a fresh thread. No content changes from v4.

Changes in v4:
- Drop the napi_ndev NULL guard in ath11k_ahb_free_ext_irq_grp() as it
  is unreachable in all existing call paths. A silent guard against an
  impossible condition hides bugs instead of exposing them.

Changes in v3:
- Extract ath11k_ahb_free_ext_irq_grp() to handle per-group ext IRQ

- On request_irq() failure in ath11k_ahb_config_ext_irq(), immediately

After v4 I reminded you:
>In the future please post new versions of patches as a separate thread.

Yet once again you sent a new patch as a threaded reply instead of as a new
thread.

:(

You are ruining your reputation.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for the reminder, and I apologize for the continued misstep.

I do remember your previous instruction about starting new patch series as separate threads. The reason I sent this v6 as a threaded reply this time was to keep the review context easily accessible in my mail client ― I find it helpful to have the feedback and the new version grouped together for side?by?side reference during the review process.

That said, I fully understand that this convenience for myself creates inconvenience for others, especially for those who use threaded views to track patch flow. My intent was to send the final, ready?to?merge version as a new thread once the review on this round had settled ― but I should have followed the established process from the start.

To correct this, I will send v7 as a completely new thread, with the link to this discussion added at the end of the commit message for traceability.

Again, sorry for the noise, and thanks for your patience.

Best regards,
Zhao Jinming
