    ice: Fix improper handling of refcount in ice_sriov_set_msix_vec_count() · d517cf89
    Gui-Dong Han authored
    This patch addresses an issue with improper reference count handling in the
    ice_sriov_set_msix_vec_count() function.
    
    First, the function calls ice_get_vf_by_id(), which increments the
    reference count of the vf pointer. If the subsequent call to
    ice_get_vf_vsi() fails, the function currently returns an error without
    decrementing the reference count of the vf pointer, leading to a reference
    count leak. The correct behavior, as implemented in this patch, is to
    decrement the reference count using ice_put_vf(vf) before returning an
    error when vsi is NULL.
    
    Second, the function calls ice_sriov_get_irqs(), which sets
    vf->first_vector_idx. If this call returns a negative value, indicating an
    error, the function returns an error without decrementing the reference
    count of the vf pointer, resulting in another reference count leak. The
    patch addresses this by adding a call to ice_put_vf(vf) before returning
    an error when vf->first_vector_idx < 0.
    
    This bug was identified by an experimental static analysis tool developed
    by our team. The tool specializes in analyzing reference count operations
    and identifying potential mismanagement of reference counts. In this case,
    the tool flagged the missing decrement operation as a potential issue,
    leading to this patch.
