Subject: [PATCH] scsi: target: tcm_loop: fix segfault in tcm_loop_tpg_address_show()
Date: Wed,  5 Nov 2025 11:25:46 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1762370746-6304-1-git-send-email-hamzamahfooz@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)

If the allocation of tl_hba->sh fails in tcm_loop_driver_probe() and we
attempt to dereference it in tcm_loop_tpg_address_show() we will get a
segfault, see below for an example. So, check tl_hba->sh before
dereferencing it.

  Unable to allocate struct scsi_host
