> Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix HWS sample action table leak on quit
> 
> Destroy the composite dest_array mirror action before releasing its clone
> destinations. Releasing a JUMP clone can drop the last group table
> reference while the dest_array still points at that table, leaving the
> firmware flow table objects leaked on port close.
