From b66f051056f9ba1921a5a28c7e494f2c0abc23d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shay Drory Date: Tue, 2 May 2023 13:35:11 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: Devcom, fix error flow in mlx5_devcom_register_device commit af87194352cad882d787d06fb7efa714acd95427 upstream. In case devcom allocation is failed, mlx5 is always freeing the priv. However, this priv might have been allocated by a different thread, and freeing it might lead to use-after-free bugs. Fix it by freeing the priv only in case it was allocated by the running thread.
