From bc3b31977314433e4685ae92853d1b6e91ad7bc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Li Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 06:58:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] idpf: nullify pointers after they are freed rss_data->rss_key needs to be nullified after it is freed. Checks like "if (!rss_data->rss_key)" in the code could fail if it is not nullified. Tested: built and booted the kernel.
