[PATCH net v3 1/3] net: liquidio: Fix off-by-one error in PF setup_nic_devices() cleanup

From: Zilin Guan <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-27 15:13:00
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 cleanup loop while(i--)
skip the failing index i, causing a memory leak.

Fix this by changing the loop to iterate from the current index i
down to 0.

Also, decrement i in the devlink_alloc failure path to point to the
last successfully allocated index.

Compile tested only. Issue found using code review.

Fixes: f21fb3ed364b ("Add support of Cavium Liquidio ethernet adapters")
