The err2 error return path calls qede_ptp_disable that cleans up on an error and frees ptp. After this, the free'd ptp is dereferenced when ptp->clock is set to NULL and the code falls-through to error path err1 that frees ptp again. Fix this by calling qede_ptp_disable and exiting via an error return path that does not set ptp->clock or kfree ptp. Addresses-Coverity: ("Write to pointer after free") Fixes: 035744975aec ("qede: Add support for PTP resource locking.")

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
