> Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] net/mlx4: fix Rx resource leak in case of error
> 
> When creation of a flow rule fails during dev_start(), the usage count of the
> common RSS context is not decremented, which triggers an assertion failure
> in debug mode during dev_close().
> 
> This is addressed by tracking the initialization status of the common RSS
> context in order to add missing cleanup code.
> 
> A similar issue exists in mlx4_rxq_attach(), where usage count is
> incremented on a Rx queue but not released in case of error. This may lead
> to the above issue since RSS contexts created by flow rules attach
> themselves to Rx queues, incrementing their usage count.
