[PATCH net 12/13] idpf: fix max_vport related crash on allocation error during init

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
Date: 2026-07-17 18:53:53
Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Emil Tantilov <redacted>

Set adapter->max_vports only after successful allocation of vports, netdevs
and  vport_config buffers. This fixes possible crashes on reset or rmmod,
following failed allocation on init
