From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.199 commit 9947e8768f1f3634a54c810384def243038329f5 -------------------------------- commit c78eaeebe855fd93f2e77142ffd0404a54070d84 upstream. In case of netdev registration failure the code path will jump to init_fail label: init_fail: netdev_err(ndev, "init failed\n"); moxart_mac_free_memory(ndev); irq_map_fail: free_netdev(ndev); return ret; So, there is no need to call free_netdev() before jumping to error handling path, since it can cause UAF or double-free bug.
