[PATCH v2 4/6] net/ice: fix buffer leak in config of Tx queue TM node

Fri Jul 3 15:19:18 CEST 2026


Only the error leg handled free of the adminq message buffer when
configuring a Tx queue traffic management node. Fix this by freeing the
buffer unconditionally after the adminq call. Also, remove the use of
dpdk-specific memory allocation, replacing it with generic alloc and
free routines.
