Title
i40e: fix IRQ freeing in i40e_vsi_request_irq_msix error path
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: fix IRQ freeing in i40e_vsi_request_irq_msix error path
If request_irq() in i40e_vsi_request_irq_msix() fails in an iteration
later than the first, the error path wants to free the IRQs requested
so far. However, it uses the wrong dev_id argument for free_irq(), so
it does not free the IRQs correctly and instead triggers the warning:
Trying to free already-free IRQ 173

Use the same dev_id for free_irq() as for request_irq().
I tested this with inserting code to fail intentionally.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
