The return value of kcalloc() needs to be checked.
Maybe my previous reply against v2 crossed with your later versions. Your predicate is wrong. The code that uses rx_queue->page_ring can deal with it being NULL. The only thing you might want to do is set rx_queue->page_ptr_mask to 0. It is a mask, never use a signed value for it. Martin

To avoid dereference of null pointer in case of the failure of alloc, such as efx_fini_rx_recycle_ring(). Therefore, it should be better to change the definition of page_ptr_mask to signed int and then assign the page_ptr_mask to -1 when page_ring is NULL, in order to avoid the use in the loop.

Casade return -ENOMEM when alloc fails and deal with the error. *Change 2. Set size to -1 instead of return error. *Change 3.
