Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix free of not allocated object
Date: Wed, 21 May 2025 12:37:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250521193727.382342-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

This was found as error when compiling with LTO.
The function allocates new data with rte_zmalloc and then
stores pointer in the pointer-to-pointer passed as argument.
In the unwind case, it would call rte_free() with wrong one.

Fixes: 80317ff6adfd ("net/bnxt/tf_core: support Thor2")
