[PATCH net v2 1/2] net: liquidio: Fix off-by-one error in setup_nic_devices() cleanup

From: Zilin Guan <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-24 12:42:13
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: cavium liquidio network driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In setup_nic_devices, the initialization loop jumps to the label
setup_nic_dev_free on failure. The current error handling path uses
a while loop that decrements the device index i. This logic skips
the release of resources for the device at the current index i where
the failure occurred.

Use a do-while loop instead. This guarantees that
liquidio_destroy_nic_device() is called for the failing device index i
and continues for all previously initialized devices.

Compile tested only. Issue found using code review.

Fixes: f21fb3ed364b ("Add support of Cavium Liquidio ethernet adapters")
Fixes: 846b46873eeb ("liquidio CN23XX: VF offload features")
