Subject: net/mlx5e: psp: Fix invalid access on PSP dev registration fail
X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc3~26^2~25^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae9582cd0b9ccc4a121af300df68fd27f72e9822;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

net/mlx5e: psp: Fix invalid access on PSP dev registration fail

priv->psp->psp is initialized with the PSP device as returned by
psp_dev_create(). This could also return an error, in which case a
future psp_dev_unregister() will result in unpleasantness.

Avoid that by using a local variable and only saving the PSP device when
registration succeeds.

In case psp_dev_create() fails, priv->psp and steering structs are left
in place, but they will be inert. The unchecked access of priv->psp in
mlx5e_psp_offload_handle_rx_skb() won't happen because without a PSP
device, there can be no SAs added and therefore no packets will be
successfully decrypted and be handed off to the SW handler.
