    idpf: fix memory leaks and crashes while performing a soft reset · f01032a2
    Alexander Lobakin authored
    The second tagged commit introduced a UAF, as it removed restoring
    q_vector->vport pointers after reinitializating the structures.
    This is due to that all queue allocation functions are performed here
    with the new temporary vport structure and those functions rewrite
    the backpointers to the vport. Then, this new struct is freed and
    the pointers start leading to nowhere.
    
    But generally speaking, the current logic is very fragile. It claims
    to be more reliable when the system is low on memory, but in fact, it
    consumes two times more memory as at the moment of running this
    function, there are two vports allocated with their queues and vectors.
    Moreover, it claims to prevent the driver from running into "bad state",
    but in fact, any error during the rebuild leaves the old vport in the
    partially allocated state.
    Finally, if the interface is down when the function is called, it always
    allocates a new queue set, but when the user decides to enable the
    interface later on, vport_open() allocates them once again, IOW there's
    a clear memory leak here.
    
    Just don't allocate a new queue set when performing a reset, that solves
    crashes and memory leaks. Readd the old queue number and reopen the
    interface on rollback - that solves limbo states when the device is left
    disabled and/or without HW queues enabled.
