Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] net: stmmac: free RX resources when TX allocation fails
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 08:27:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e7a5380aabfbc03bd560ab08f37ea255d11d528a.1791958735.git.kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1791958735.git.kmehltretter@gmail.com>
alloc_dma_desc_resources() allocates every RX queue before allocating
TX queues. If TX allocation fails, its error path only frees TX
resources and leaks all RX resources.
Free the RX resources after the TX allocator unwinds its queues.
Found by inspection. On a BeagleV Ahead (TH1520), forcing TX DMA
metadata allocation to fail left the RX cleanup event absent. With this
change, both TX and RX resources were released.
Fixes: 71fedb0198cb ("net: stmmac: break some functions into RX and TX scopes")
