Subject: [PATCH] IB/mlx5: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in set_roce_addr()
Date: Tue,  9 Dec 2025 15:23:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251209072305.3955121-1-islituo@gmail.com> (raw)

The pointer gid is checked at the beginning of set_roce_addr(). However,
if it is NULL, the function continues execution and may dereference gid
when calling mlx5_core_roce_gid_set():

  return mlx5_core_roce_gid_set(..., gid->raw, ...)

This can lead to a null-pointer dereference. To prevent this, add an else
branch that return -EINVAL when gid is NULL, and remove the redundant gid
check in the IB_GID_TYPE_ROCE_UDP_ENCAP case.
