Subject: [PATCH v2] net/mlx5: Fix use-after-free
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2018 13:44:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180322184456.GA22259@embeddedgus> (raw)

_rule_ is being freed and then dereferenced by accessing rule->ctx

Fix this by copying the value returned by PTR_ERR(rule->ctx) into a local
variable for its safe use after freeing _rule_

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1466041 ("Read from pointer after free")
Fixes: 05564d0ae075 ("net/mlx5: Add flow-steering commands for FPGA IPSec implementation")
Reviewed-by: Yuval Shaia <yuval.shaia@oracle.com>
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>

Changes in v2:
 - Use a short subject prefix as suggested by Yuval Shaia.
 - Add Yuval's Reviewed-by.
