Description

Tests implicitly assume that every API call returns success.
E.g. Module handle passed to zeModuleCreate is not even initialized on app side, then if module creation fails then incorrect handle is passed to zeModuleDestroy which leads to segfault. Tests should check the error code and provide graceful teardown without crashes

Research direction

Start by locating tests that call zeModuleCreate and zeModuleDestroy, then inspect how their return codes and module handles are handled. Reproduce a failed module creation if possible and trace teardown. Done means failed API calls are checked and cleanup cannot pass an uninitialized or invalid handle to zeModuleDestroy, avoiding crashes.
