[PATCH] rapidio: clear mport->net when rio_add_net() fails
From: Guangshuo Li
Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 03:09:25 EST
rio_alloc_net() stores the newly allocated rio_net in mport->net before
rio_scan_alloc_net() registers the device.
If rio_add_net() fails, rio_scan_alloc_net() drops the device reference
with put_device(), which releases the rio_net through the device release
callback. However, mport->net is left pointing at the freed object.
A later mport unregister path can then dereference the dangling
mport->net pointer and may try to free the same rio_net again.
Clear mport->net in the rio_add_net() failure path, matching the cleanup
done for the destID table allocation failure path.
Fixes: e842f9a1edf3 ("rapidio: add check for rio_add_net() in rio_scan_alloc_net()")
