Fix it by moving free_netdev() call at the end of the function Fixes: 6cca200362b4 ("vxge: cleanup probe error paths") Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin Reviewed-by: Jesse Brandeburg Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-main.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-main.c index e0993eba5df3..c6950e580883 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-main.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-main.c @@ -3539,13 +3539,13 @@ static void vxge_device_unregister(struct __vxge_hw_device *hldev) kfree(vdev->vpaths); - /* we are safe to free it now */ - free_netdev(dev); - vxge_debug_init(vdev->level_trace, "%s: ethernet device unregistered", buf); vxge_debug_entryexit(vdev->level_trace, "%s: %s:%d Exiting...", buf, __func__, __LINE__); + + /* we are safe to free it now */ + free_netdev(dev); } /*
