[PATCH net-next v2 07/13] net: mana: do not bail out of mana_detach on dealloc failure
From: Long Li
Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 02:37:36 EST
From: Dipayaan Roy <dipayanroy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
mana_detach() sets port_is_up = false before calling
mana_dealloc_queues(). If that call were to fail and return early,
netif_device_detach() and mana_cleanup_port_context() are skipped,
leaving the port in an inconsistent state where port_is_up is false but
netif_device_present() still returns true.
With the ethtool, MTU and XDP paths converted to pre-allocate and swap,
the callers that reach this code with from_close == false are the TX
timeout reset handler and the suspend path. For the reset handler the
inconsistent state is fatal: its mana_detach() would overwrite
port_st_save with false, so the following mana_attach() skips queue
allocation and leaves the port permanently dead. For suspend it leaves
the port context allocated across the transition.
Remove the early return so that mana_detach() always completes its full
teardown. mana_dealloc_queues() already performs best-effort cleanup
regardless of internal errors, and in practice cannot fail here since
port_is_up is already false, so continuing to netif_device_detach() and
mana_cleanup_port_context() is safe and keeps the state consistent.
