[PATCH v2] bnx2x: fix resource leaks in bnx2x_init_one() error paths

From: Haoxiang Li

Date: Tue Jun 09 2026 - 03:50:44 EST


bnx2x_init_one() falls through to the common memory cleanup path for
several failures after probe has already acquired additional resources.

If register_netdev() fails after bnx2x_set_int_mode(), MSI/MSI-X remains
enabled. If later failures happen after bnx2x_iov_init_one(), PF SR-IOV
state can be left allocated. Also, failures after bnx2x_vfpf_acquire()
must release the PF resources before freeing the VF-PF mailbox allocated
by bnx2x_vf_pci_alloc().

Add error labels matching the resource acquisition order so probe failure
disables MSI/MSI-X, removes SR-IOV state, releases VF-PF resources,
deallocates VF PCI resources, and then frees the common driver memory.
Also clear PCI drvdata before freeing the netdev on probe failure.
