Driver has a logic leak in ring data allocation/free,
where double free may happen in aq_ring_free if system is under
stress and driver init/deinit is happening.
The probability is higher to get this during suspend/resume cycle.
Verification was done simulating same conditions with
stress -m 2000 --vm-bytes 20M --vm-hang 10 --backoff 1000
while true; do sudo ifconfig enp1s0 down; sudo ifconfig enp1s0 up; done
Fixed by explicitly clearing pointers to NULL on deallocation

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.
