Subject: [PATCH 1/2] scsi: mpi3mr: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mpi3mr_sas_port_add()
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:03:43 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812103344.174247-2-mgandhi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812103344.174247-1-mgandhi@redhat.com>
sas_port_alloc_num() can return NULL on memory allocation failure. The
return value is passed directly to sas_port_add() without a NULL check,
which causes a NULL pointer dereference.
Additionally, if sas_port_add() fails, the allocated port is not freed
before jumping to out_fail, leaking the sas_port structure. Call
sas_port_free() to properly release it.
Fixes: e22bae30667a ("scsi: mpi3mr: Add expander devices to STL")
