Subject: [PATCH] nvme-pci: fix NULL pointer dereference in nvme_free_host_mem()
Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2017 03:03:00 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1511546580-3165-1-git-send-email-minwoo.im.dev@gmail.com> (raw)

Following condition which will cause NULL pointer dereference will
occur in nvme_free_host_mem() when it tries to remove pci device via
nvme_remove() especially after a failure of host memory allocation for HMB.

    "(host_mem_descs == NULL) && (nr_host_mem_descs != 0)"

It's because __nr_host_mem_descs__ is not cleared to 0 unlike
__host_mem_descs__ is so.
