Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] scsi: qla2xxx: Null out freed pointers in qla2x00_mem_alloc() error path
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:15:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911211535.1531610-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090900-suitable-brute-f19c@gregkh>
From: Nilesh Javali <njavali@marvell.com>
[ Upstream commit 6d90f0feb929f6c0f3010f9af4747c7230b75993 ]
When qla2x00_mem_alloc() fails, qla2x00_probe_one() jumps to
probe_hw_failed and calls qla2x00_mem_free(). Several error labels in
qla2x00_mem_alloc() freed adapter members (elsrej.c, purex_dma_pool,
flt, sfp_data, loop_id_map, async_pd, sf_init_cb, ex_init_cb, npiv_info)
but left the pointers dangling. qla2x00_mem_free() then freed them a
second time. Worse, for the dma_pool members it issued
dma_pool_free(ha->s_dma_pool, ...) after s_dma_pool had already been
destroyed and set to NULL at fail_s_dma_pool, dereferencing a NULL pool.
Clear each freed pointer (and its DMA handle) in the error labels so the
subsequent qla2x00_mem_free() skips them.
