From f0b50730bdd8f2734e548de541e845c0d40dceb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wentao Liang vulab@iscas.ac.cn Date: Wed, 21 May 2025 21:36:20 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5_core: Add error handling inmlx5_query_nic_vport_qkey_viol_cntr()
The function mlx5_query_nic_vport_qkey_viol_cntr() calls the function mlx5_query_nic_vport_context() but does not check its return value. This could lead to undefined behavior if the query fails. A proper implementation can be found in mlx5_nic_vport_query_local_lb().
Add error handling for mlx5_query_nic_vport_context(). If it fails, free the out buffer via kvfree() and return error code.
