Subject: [PATCH 04/14] lpfc: Check fc4_xpt_flags before decrementing ndlp kref on FDISC error
Date: Thu,  4 Jun 2026 12:29:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604192937.65605-5-justintee8345@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604192937.65605-1-justintee8345@gmail.com>

The current initial kref count drop logic for an ndlp that fails FDISC
assumes that the ndlp has never registered with transport layer and thus
the lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk never called.  However, a failed FDISC can
occur after a successful transport layer registration too.  So,
lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk can occur and there is a potential use-after-free
on the ndlp.

Check ndlp->fc4_xpt_flags if previously registered with an upper layer
transport and check ndlp->nlp_flags if there is a LPFC_EVT_DEV_LOSS work
pending.  If not previously registered nor LPFC_EVT_DEV_LOSS work pending,
then set the NLP_DROPPED flag as before and decrement the initial kref on
FDISC error.  However, if ndlp has been previously registered, then let the
pre-existing logic for each transport's respective dev_loss_tmo_callbk
perform the initial kref decrement.
