[PATCH 19/62] ice: Fix a locking bug in an error path
From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Mon Feb 23 2026 - 17:00:18 EST
Move the mutex_lock() call up to prevent that DCB settings change after
the ice_query_port_ets() call.
This patch fixes a bug in an error path. Without this patch pf->tc_mutex
may be unlocked in an error path without having been locked. This bug has
been detected by the clang thread-safety analyzer.
