[PATCH v2] RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR XLT cleanup on ODP populate failure

From: Prathamesh Deshpande

Date: Sun Apr 26 2026 - 09:24:16 EST


mlx5r_umr_update_xlt() allocates and DMA maps an XLT buffer with
mlx5r_umr_create_xlt(). The buffer is released by the common cleanup path
through mlx5r_umr_unmap_free_xlt().

After mlx5_odp_populate_xlt() became fallible, its error path returned
directly and skipped that cleanup. This leaks the XLT DMA mapping and
buffer. If the emergency XLT page was used, it also leaves
xlt_emergency_page_mutex locked.

Break out of the loop so execution falls through the existing cleanup path.

Fixes: 1efe8c0670d6 ("RDMA/core: Convert UMEM ODP DMA mapping to caching IOVA and page linkage")

v2:
- Use 'break' instead of 'goto' as the loop already checks 'err'. (Michael Gur)
