[PATCH] octeontx2-af: fix a use-after-free in rvu_npa_register_reporters

From: Zhipeng Lu
Date: Sat Dec 02 2023 - 05:01:43 EST


The rvu_dl will be freed in rvu_npa_health_reporters_destroy(rvu_dl)
after the create_workqueue fails, and after that free, the rvu_dl will
be translate back through rvu_npa_health_reporters_create,
rvu_health_reporters_create, and rvu_register_dl. Finally it goes to the
err_dl_health label, being freed again in
rvu_health_reporters_destroy(rvu) by rvu_npa_health_reporters_destroy.
In the second calls of rvu_npa_health_reporters_destroy, however,
it uses rvu_dl->rvu_npa_health_reporter, which is already freed at
the end of rvu_npa_health_reporters_destroy in the first call.

So this patch prevents the first destroy by instantly returning -ENONMEN
when create_workqueue fails. In addition, since the failure of
create_workqueue is the only entrence of label err, it has been
integrated into the error-handling path of create_workqueue.
