    RDMA/bnxt_re: Do not free the ctx_tbl entry if delete GID fails · 4a62c5e9
    Selvin Xavier authored
    This fix is added only to avoid system crash in some a
    specific scenario. When bnxt_re driver is loaded and if
    user tries to change interface mac address, delete GID
    fails because QP1 is still associated with existing MAC
    (default GID). If the above command fails GID tables are
    not modified in the h/w or driver, but the GID context memory
    is freed. Now, if the user changes the mac back to the original
    value, another add_gid comes to the driver where the driver
    reports that the GID is already present in its table
    and tries to access the context which was already freed.
    
    So, in this case, in order to  avoid NULL pointer de-reference,
    this patch removes the context memory free  if delete_gid fails
    and the same context memory is re-used in new add_gid.
    Memory cleanup will be taken care during driver unload, while
    deleting the GID table.
