These occur as the result of a double-call to ice_deinit_hw(). This double
call happens if ice_init() fails at any point after calling
ice_init_dev().

Upon errors, ice_init() calls ice_deinit_dev(), which is supposed to be the
inverse of ice_init_dev(). However, currently ice_init_dev() does not call
ice_init_hw(). Instead, ice_init_hw() is called by ice_probe(). Thus,
ice_probe() itself calls ice_deinit_hw() as part of its error cleanup
logic.

This results in two calls to ice_deinit_hw() which results in straight
forward use-after-free violations due to double calling kfree and other
cleanup functions.

To avoid this double call, move the call to ice_init_hw() into
ice_init_dev(), and remove the now logically unnecessary cleanup from
ice_probe(). This is simpler than the alternative of moving ice_deinit_hw()
*out* of ice_deinit_dev().

Moving the calls to ice_deinit_hw() requires validating all cleanup paths,
and changing significantly more code. Moving the calls of ice_init_hw()
requires only validating that the new placement is still prior to all HW
structure accesses.

For ice_probe(), this now delays ice_init_hw() from before
ice_adapter_get() to just after it. This is safe, as ice_adapter_get() does
not rely on the HW structure.

For ice_devlink_reinit_up(), the ice_init_hw() is now called after
ice_set_min_max_msix(). This is also safe as that function does not access
the HW structure either.

This flow makes more logical sense, as ice_init_dev() is mirrored by
ice_deinit_dev(), so it reasonably should be the caller of ice_init_hw().
It also reduces one extra call to ice_init_hw() since both ice_probe() and
ice_devlink_reinit_up() call ice_init_dev().

This resolves the double-free and avoids memory corruption and other
invalid memory accesses in the event of a failed probe.

These occur as the result of a double-call to ice_deinit_hw(). This double
call happens if ice_init() fails at any point after calling
ice_init_dev().

Upon errors, ice_init() calls ice_deinit_dev(), which is supposed to be the
inverse of ice_init_dev(). However, currently ice_init_dev() does not call
ice_init_hw(). Instead, ice_init_hw() is called by ice_probe(). Thus,
ice_probe() itself calls ice_deinit_hw() as part of its error cleanup
logic.

This results in two calls to ice_deinit_hw() which results in straight
forward use-after-free violations due to double calling kfree and other
cleanup functions.

To avoid this double call, move the call to ice_init_hw() into
ice_init_dev(), and remove the now logically unnecessary cleanup from
ice_probe(). This is simpler than the alternative of moving ice_deinit_hw()
*out* of ice_deinit_dev().

Moving the calls to ice_deinit_hw() requires validating all cleanup paths,
and changing significantly more code. Moving the calls of ice_init_hw()
requires only validating that the new placement is still prior to all HW
structure accesses.

For ice_probe(), this now delays ice_init_hw() from before
ice_adapter_get() to just after it. This is safe, as ice_adapter_get() does
not rely on the HW structure.

For ice_devlink_reinit_up(), the ice_init_hw() is now called after
ice_set_min_max_msix(). This is also safe as that function does not access
the HW structure either.

This flow makes more logical sense, as ice_init_dev() is mirrored by
ice_deinit_dev(), so it reasonably should be the caller of ice_init_hw().
It also reduces one extra call to ice_init_hw() since both ice_probe() and
ice_devlink_reinit_up() call ice_init_dev().

This resolves the double-free and avoids memory corruption and other
invalid memory accesses in the event of a failed probe.

The following (and similar) KFENCE bugs have recently been found occurring

These occur as the result of a double-call to ice_deinit_hw(). This double
call happens if ice_init() fails at any point after calling
ice_init_dev().

Upon errors, ice_init() calls ice_deinit_dev(), which is supposed to be the
inverse of ice_init_dev(). However, currently ice_init_dev() does not call
ice_init_hw(). Instead, ice_init_hw() is called by ice_probe(). Thus,
ice_probe() itself calls ice_deinit_hw() as part of its error cleanup
logic.

This results in two calls to ice_deinit_hw() which results in straight
forward use-after-free violations due to double calling kfree and other
cleanup functions.

To avoid this double call, move the call to ice_init_hw() into
ice_init_dev(), and remove the now logically unnecessary cleanup from
ice_probe(). This is simpler than the alternative of moving ice_deinit_hw()
*out* of ice_deinit_dev().

Moving the calls to ice_deinit_hw() requires validating all cleanup paths,
and changing significantly more code. Moving the calls of ice_init_hw()
requires only validating that the new placement is still prior to all HW
structure accesses.

For ice_probe(), this now delays ice_init_hw() from before
ice_adapter_get() to just after it. This is safe, as ice_adapter_get() does
not rely on the HW structure.

For ice_devlink_reinit_up(), the ice_init_hw() is now called after
ice_set_min_max_msix(). This is also safe as that function does not access
the HW structure either.

This flow makes more logical sense, as ice_init_dev() is mirrored by
ice_deinit_dev(), so it reasonably should be the caller of ice_init_hw().
It also reduces one extra call to ice_init_hw() since both ice_probe() and
ice_devlink_reinit_up() call ice_init_dev().

This resolves the double-free and avoids memory corruption and other
invalid memory accesses in the event of a failed probe.

ice_init_dev().

Upon errors, ice_init() calls ice_deinit_dev(), which is supposed to be the
inverse of ice_init_dev(). However, currently ice_init_dev() does not call
ice_init_hw(). Instead, ice_init_hw() is called by ice_probe(). Thus,
ice_probe() itself calls ice_deinit_hw() as part of its error cleanup
logic.

This results in two calls to ice_deinit_hw() which results in straight
forward use-after-free violations due to double calling kfree and other
cleanup functions.

To avoid this double call, move the call to ice_init_hw() into
ice_init_dev(), and remove the now logically unnecessary cleanup from
ice_probe(). This is simpler than the alternative of moving ice_deinit_hw()
*out* of ice_deinit_dev().

Moving the calls to ice_deinit_hw() requires validating all cleanup paths,
and changing significantly more code. Moving the calls of ice_init_hw()
requires only validating that the new placement is still prior to all HW
structure accesses.

For ice_probe(), this now delays ice_init_hw() from before
ice_adapter_get() to just after it. This is safe, as ice_adapter_get() does
not rely on the HW structure.

For ice_devlink_reinit_up(), the ice_init_hw() is now called after
ice_set_min_max_msix(). This is also safe as that function does not access
the HW structure either.

This flow makes more logical sense, as ice_init_dev() is mirrored by
ice_deinit_dev(), so it reasonably should be the caller of ice_init_hw().
It also reduces one extra call to ice_init_hw() since both ice_probe() and
ice_devlink_reinit_up() call ice_init_dev().

This resolves the double-free and avoids memory corruption and other
invalid memory accesses in the event of a failed probe.
