Subject: [PATCH v2] IB/hfi1: Fix possible null-pointer dereference in _extend_sdma_tx_descs()
Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2021 01:39:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210806083953.193278-1-islituo@gmail.com> (raw)
kmalloc_array() is called to allocate memory for tx->descp. If it fails,
the function __sdma_txclean() is called:
__sdma_txclean(dd, tx);
However, in the function __sdma_txclean(), tx-descp is dereferenced if
tx->num_desc is not zero:
sdma_unmap_desc(dd, &tx->descp[0]);
To fix this possible null-pointer dereference, assign the return value of
kmalloc_array() to a local variable descp, and then assign it to tx->descp
if it is not NULL. Otherwise, go to enomem.

v2:
* Assign the return value of kmalloc_array() to a local variable and then
check it instead of assigning 0 to tx->num_desc when memory allocation
fails.
Thank Mike Marciniszyn for helpful advice.
