[PATCH] net: lan969x: fix page pool leak when RX DMA allocation fails

From: Wentao Liang

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 06:29:39 EST


lan969x_fdma_rx_alloc() creates the RX page pool and then allocates the
FDMA coherent memory. If fdma_alloc_coherent() fails, the function
returns without destroying the page pool.

The failure propagates out of lan969x_fdma_init(), and
sparx5_frame_io_init() then marks the FDMA IRQ as unavailable, so
lan969x_fdma_deinit() is never called on teardown and the page pool is
never released. Destroy it before returning the error.
