Ever since CQ/QAOB support was added, calling qdio_free() straight after qdio_alloc() results in qdio_release_memory() accessing uninitialized memory (ie. q->u.out.use_cq and q->u.out.aobs). Followed by a kmem_cache_free() on the random AOB addresses. For older kernels that don't have6e30c549f6, the same applies if qdio_establish() fails in the DEV_STATE_ONLINE check. While initializing q->u.out.use_cq would be enough to fix this particular bug, the more future-proof change is to just zero-alloc the whole struct.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
