Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] scsi: qla2xxx: Unlink NVMe unsol ctx before freeing on LS reject error
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:10:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911181023.1305934-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090901-sturdy-anthill-cfa3@gregkh>

From: Nilesh Javali <njavali@marvell.com>

[ Upstream commit e46160a5d4fa59bf4d5f3412b6b5cb79edb967dd ]

qla_nvme_xmt_ls_rsp() obtains uctx, which was linked into
fcport->unsol_ctx_head by qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb() and is still linked
when the NVMe transport calls back to transmit the LS response. On the
error (out:) path the function frees uctx with kfree() but never removes
it from the list. This leaves a freed node in fcport->unsol_ctx_head: the
next list_add_tail() for that fcport writes through the freed node, and a
subsequent list_del() can corrupt the list or panic.

Unlink uctx with list_del() before kfree() on the error path, matching the
other free sites in qla_nvme_release_lsrsp_cmd_kref() and
qla2xxx_process_purls_pkt(). qla2x00_rel_sp() in the failure path only
returns the SRB to its pool and does not invoke sp->put_fn, so the out:
path is the sole free and uctx is always still linked there.
