Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: liquidio: Fix off-by-one error in PF setup_nic_devices() cleanup<br />
<br />
In setup_nic_devices(), the initialization loop jumps to the label<br />
setup_nic_dev_free on failure. The current cleanup loop while(i--)<br />
skip the failing index i, causing a memory leak.<br />
<br />
Fix this by changing the loop to iterate from the current index i<br />
down to 0.<br />
<br />
Also, decrement i in the devlink_alloc failure path to point to the<br />
last successfully allocated index.<br />
<br />
Compile tested only. Issue found using code review.
