This patch series addresses two memory handling issues in the ice PMD. - The first one makes memory allocation and release symmetric. Several buffers obtained through ice_malloc(), ice_calloc() or ice_memdup() were released with rte_free() instead of ice_free(). Both APIs currently map to the same underlying allocator. However, mixing them is inconsistent and would break if the OS abstraction layer ever changes.
- The second one fixes an unchecked allocation in ice_tx_queue_start() which dereferences the Tx time queue context buffer returned by ice_malloc() without NULL check. On allocation failure, the E830 send-on-timestamp path therefore crashes instead of reporting "No Memory" error, and also the already allocated txq_elem buffer gets leaked.
