qeth_core_free_card() is meant to be the counterpart of qeth_alloc_card() - but unfortunately was also picked as the place to free the QDIO queues. This gets messy when qeth_core_probe_device() fails during qeth_add_dbf_entry(). At this point the card->qdio.state is not initialized yet, so qeth_free_qdio_queues() ends up operating on uninitialized data. Luckily for now, the whole qeth_card struct is zero-allocated and the value of the QETH_QDIO_UNINITIALIZED enum is 0 as well. So there's no real impact from this bug at the moment, it's just really fragile. Clean this up by moving the qeth_free_qdio_queues() call up one level in the hierarchy. This way it doesn't get called from the error path. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
