    octeontx2-af: fix a use-after-free in rvu_nix_register_reporters · 28a7cb04
    Zhipeng Lu authored
    The rvu_dl will be freed in rvu_nix_health_reporters_destroy(rvu_dl)
    after the create_workqueue fails, and after that free, the rvu_dl will
    be translate back through the following call chain:
    
    rvu_nix_health_reporters_destroy
      |-> rvu_nix_health_reporters_create
           |-> rvu_health_reporters_create
                 |-> rvu_register_dl (label err_dl_health)
    
    Finally. in the err_dl_health label, rvu_dl being freed again in
    rvu_health_reporters_destroy(rvu) by rvu_nix_health_reporters_destroy.
    In the second calls of rvu_nix_health_reporters_destroy, however,
    it uses rvu_dl->rvu_nix_health_reporter, which is already freed at
    the end of rvu_nix_health_reporters_destroy in the first call.
    
    So this patch prevents the first destroy by instantly returning -ENONMEN
    when create_workqueue fails. In addition, since the failure of
    create_workqueue is the only entrence of label err, it has been
    integrated into the error-handling path of create_workqueue.
