[PATCH net-next 0/4] net: mana: Fix probe/remove error path bugs
From: Erni Sri Satya Vennela
Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 03:10:42 EST
Fix four pre-existing bugs in mana_probe()/mana_remove() error handling
that can cause warnings on uninitialized work structs, masked errors,
and resource leaks when early probe steps fail.
Patches 1-2 move work struct initialization (link_change_work and
gf_stats_work) to before any error path that could trigger
mana_remove(), preventing WARN_ON in __flush_work() or debug object
warnings when sync cancellation runs on uninitialized work structs.
Patch 3 prevents add_adev() from overwriting a port probe error,
which could leave the driver in a broken state with NULL ports while
reporting success.
Patch 4 changes 'goto out' to 'break' in mana_remove()'s port loop
so that mana_destroy_eq() is always reached, preventing EQ leaks when
a NULL port is encountered.
Erni Sri Satya Vennela (4):
net: mana: Init link_change_work before potential error paths in probe
net: mana: Init gf_stats_work before potential error paths in probe
net: mana: Don't overwrite port probe error with add_adev result
net: mana: Fix EQ leak in mana_remove on NULL port
