Subject: [PATCH] sfc: fix a double-free bug in efx_probe_filters

In efx_probe_filters, the channel->rps_flow_id is freed in a
efx_for_each_channel marco when success equals to 0.
However, after the following call chain:

efx_probe_filters
|-> ef100_net_open
|-> ef100_net_stop
|-> efx_remove_filters

The channel->rps_flow_id is freed again in the efx_for_each_channel of
efx_remove_filters, triggering a double-free bug.

I think the call chain may be a bit more like:

ef100_net_open
|-> efx_probe_filters
|-> ef100_net_stop
|-> efx_remove_filters

The above nit not withstanding, I agree with your reasoning.
And that the problem was introduced in the cited commit.

The patch LGTM, but could you please update the commit message as per
Simon's suggestions make it more consistent? You can retain Simon's RB
tag.

Thanks!

Subject line should probably say [PATCH net] to specify the tree.
Modulo that, and Simon's correction to the commit message,

Sorry for the call-chain's problem, I was not familiar with it at that time.
Thanks for Simon's correction. Appreciate!
I'll soon send a v2 patch with the corrected call-chain and RB tags.
