[PATCH] RDS: IB: NULL dereference on error in rds_ib_alloc_frmr()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We accidentally return ERR_PTR(0) if ib_alloc_mr() fails.  The caller
is expecting error pointers so it results in a NULL dereference.

Fixes: 1659185fb4d0 ("RDS: IB: Support Fastreg MR (FRMR) memory registration mode")
