When axienet_dma_bd_init() bails out during the initialisation process, it might do so with parts of the structure already allocated and initialised, while other parts have not been touched yet. Before returning in this case, we call axienet_dma_bd_release(), which does not take care of this corner case. This is most obvious by the first loop happily dereferencing lp->rx_bd_v, which we actually check to be non NULL *afterwards*. Make sure we only unmap or free already allocated structures, by: - directly returning with -ENOMEM if nothing has been allocated at all - checking for lp->rx_bd_v to be non-NULL *before* using it - only unmapping allocated DMA RX regions This avoids NULL pointer dereferences when initialisation fails.

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.
