  "message": "net: liquidio: Initialize netdev pointer before queue setup\n\nIn setup_nic_devices(), the netdev is allocated using alloc_etherdev_mq().\nHowever, the pointer to this structure is stored in oct-\u003eprops[i].netdev\nonly after the calls to netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() and\nnetif_set_real_num_tx_queues().\n\nIf either of these functions fails, setup_nic_devices() returns an error\nwithout freeing the allocated netdev. Since oct-\u003eprops[i].netdev is still\nNULL at this point, the cleanup function liquidio_destroy_nic_device()\nwill fail to find and free the netdev, resulting in a memory leak.\n\nFix this by initializing oct-\u003eprops[i].netdev before calling the queue\nsetup functions. This ensures that the netdev is properly accessible for\ncleanup in case of errors.\n\nCompile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool\nand code review.\n\nFixes: c33c997346c3 (\"liquidio: enhanced ethtool --set-channels feature\")\nSigned-off-by: Zilin Guan \u003czilin@seu.edu.cn\u003e\nReviewed-by: Kory Maincent \u003ckory.maincent@bootlin.com\u003e\nLink: https://patch.msgid.link/20260128154440.278369-2-zilin@seu.edu.cn\nSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski \u003ckuba@kernel.org\u003e\n",
