Subject: [PATCH] qed: Fix potential use-after-free in qed_spq_post()
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 12:24:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180115202449.14830-1-roland@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com>

We need to check if p_ent->comp_mode is QED_SPQ_MODE_EBLOCK before
calling qed_spq_add_entry().  The test is fine is the mode is EBLOCK,
but if it isn't then qed_spq_add_entry() might kfree(p_ent).
