net: mana: Fix probe/remove error path bugs

Fix five bugs in mana_probe()/mana_remove() error handling that can cause warnings on uninitialized work structs, NULL pointer dereferences, masked errors, and resource leaks when early probe steps fail.

Patches 1-2 move work struct initialization (link_change_work and gf_stats_work) to before any error path that could trigger mana_remove(), preventing WARN_ON in __flush_work() or debug object warnings when sync cancellation runs on uninitialized work structs.

Patch 3 guards mana_remove() against double invocation. If PM resume fails, mana_probe() calls mana_remove() which sets gdma_context and driver_data to NULL. A failed resume does not unbind the driver, so when the device is eventually unbound, mana_remove() is called again and dereferences NULL, causing a kernel panic. An early return on NULL gdma_context or driver_data makes the second call harmless.

Patch 4 prevents add_adev() from overwriting a port probe error, which could leave the driver in a broken state with NULL ports while reporting success.

Patch 5 changes 'goto out' to 'break' in mana_remove()'s port loop so that mana_destroy_eq() is always reached, preventing EQ leaks when a NULL port is encountered.

2.34.1

Move INIT_WORK(link_change_work) to right after the mana_context allocation, before any error path that could reach mana_remove().

Previously, if mana_create_eq() or mana_query_device_cfg() failed, mana_probe() would jump to the error path which calls mana_remove(). mana_remove() unconditionally calls disable_work_sync(link_change_work), but the work struct had not been initialized yet. This can trigger CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK enabled.

Move INIT_DELAYED_WORK(gf_stats_work) to before mana_create_eq(), while keeping schedule_delayed_work() at its original location.

Previously, if any function between mana_create_eq() and the INIT_DELAYED_WORK call failed, mana_probe() would call mana_remove() which unconditionally calls cancel_delayed_work_sync(gf_stats_work) in __flush_work() or debug object warnings with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK enabled.

2.34.1

If PM resume fails (e.g., mana_attach() returns an error), mana_probe() calls mana_remove(), which tears down the device and sets gd->gdma_context = NULL and gd->driver_data = NULL.

However, a failed resume callback does not automatically unbind the driver. When the device is eventually unbound, mana_remove() is invoked a second time. Without a NULL check, it dereferences gc->dev with gc == NULL, causing a kernel panic.

Add an early return if gdma_context or driver_data is NULL so the second invocation is harmless. Move the dev = gc->dev assignment after the guard so it cannot dereference NULL.

2.34.1

In mana_probe(), if mana_probe_port() fails for any port, the error is stored in 'err' and the loop breaks. However, the subsequent unconditional 'err = add_adev(gd, "eth")' overwrites this error. If add_adev() succeeds, mana_probe() returns success despite ports being left in a partially initialized state (ac->ports[i] == NULL).

Only call add_adev() when there is no prior error, so the probe correctly fails and triggers mana_remove() cleanup.

2.34.1

In mana_remove(), when a NULL port is encountered in the port iteration loop, 'goto out' skips the mana_destroy_eq(ac) call, leaking the event queues allocated earlier by mana_create_eq().

This can happen when mana_probe_port() fails for port 0, leaving ac->ports[0] as NULL. On driver unload or error cleanup, mana_remove() hits the NULL entry and jumps past mana_destroy_eq().

Change 'goto out' to 'break' so the for-loop exits normally and mana_destroy_eq() is always reached. Remove the now-unreferenced out:
label.

Thanks for the updates.

For the series:

I see that Sashiko provided feedback on patch 4/5. However, as it notes, the issue it flags is addressed in patch 5/5. No further action required AFAICS.
