[PATCH v2 net] cxgb4: fix memory leak in cxgb4_init_ethtool_filters() error path
From: Abdun Nihaal
Date: Mon Apr 14 2025 - 13:07:20 EST
In the for loop used to allocate the loc_array and bmap for each port, a
memory leak is possible when the allocation for loc_array succeeds,
but the allocation for bmap fails. This is because when the control flow
goes to the label free_eth_finfo, only the allocations starting from
(i-1)th iteration are freed.
Fix that by freeing the loc_array in the bmap allocation error path.

v1 -> v2:
- Added the Reviewed-by tag from Simon Horman
- Also set the branch target as net instead of net-next as it is a fix
