Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/mthca: Check for null udata during reg_user_mr
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:55:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630155505.1707193-1-jmoroni@google.com> (raw)
The mthca driver was unconditionally checking udata->inlen,
but udata could be null if the user intentionally triggers
the UVERBS_METHOD_REG_MR ioctl. Prevent the potential null
deref by adding a check.
