[PATCH] PCI: Fix NULL dereference in SR-IOV VF creation error path

From: Shay Drory
Date: Sun Feb 16 2025 - 03:33:50 EST


Add proper cleanup when virtfn setup fails to prevent NULL pointer
dereference during device removal. The kernel oops[1] occurred due to
Incorrect error handling flow when pci_setup_device() fails.

Fix it by properly cleaning up virtfn resources when pci_setup_device()
fails, instead of invoking pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device().
This prevents accessing partially initialized virtfn devices during
removal.
