Subject: [PATCH] RDS: IB: NULL dereference on error in rds_ib_alloc_frmr()
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2017 13:39:24 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170614103924.GK29394@elgon.mountain> (raw)

We accidentally return ERR_PTR(0) if ib_alloc_mr() fails.  The caller
is expecting error pointers so it results in a NULL dereference.

Fixes: 1659185fb4d0 ("RDS: IB: Support Fastreg MR (FRMR) memory registration mode")
