[PATCH net v5 3/6] bnxt_en: Propagate TPA buffer allocation failures in bnxt_queue_mem_alloc()
From: Joe Damato
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 22:01:35 EST
bnxt_alloc_one_tpa_info_data() returns -ENOMEM as soon as one allocation
fails. This leaves the remaining rxr->rx_tpa[] entries zeroed.
bnxt_queue_mem_alloc() discards that return value, so the partially
initialized ring is installed by bnxt_queue_start().
Since the agg_id is picked by the hardware and bnxt_alloc_agg_idx maps
it to a SW index in rxr->rx_tpa[], it is possible that an uninitialized
slot can be chosen which would hand a zero DMA address to the device.
Fix this by checking the return value of bnxt_alloc_one_tpa_info_data
and unwinding, freeing the ring buffers.
Fixes: bd649c5cc958 ("bnxt_en: handle tpa_info in queue API implementation")
