mlx5e_attach_netdev can be called prior to registering the netdevice:
Example stack:
ipoib_new_child_link ->
ipoib_intf_init->
rdma_init_netdev->
mlx5_rdma_setup_rn->
mlx5e_attach_netdev->
mlx5e_num_channels_changed ->
mlx5e_set_default_xps_cpumasks ->
netif_set_xps_queue ->
__netif_set_xps_queue -> kmalloc
If any later stage fails at any point after mlx5e_num_channels_changed()
returns, XPS allocated maps will never be freed as they
are only freed during netdev unregistration, which will never happen for
yet to be registered netdevs.

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.
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.
