From: Zhu Yanjun <yanjun.zhu@xxxxxxxxx> The function rxe_create_qp calls rxe_qp_from_init. If some error occurs, the error handler of function rxe_qp_from_init will set both scq and rcq to NULL. Then rxe_create_qp calls rxe_put to handle qp. In the end, rxe_qp_do_cleanup is called by rxe_put. rxe_qp_do_cleanup directly accesses scq and rcq before checking them. This will cause null-ptr-deref error. The call graph is as below: rxe_create_qp { ... rxe_qp_from_init { ... err1: ... qp->rcq = NULL; <---rcq is set to NULL qp->scq = NULL; <---scq is set to NULL ... } qp_init: rxe_put{ ... rxe_qp_do_cleanup { ... atomic_dec(&qp->scq->num_wq); <--- scq is accessed ... atomic_dec(&qp->rcq->num_wq); <--- rcq is accessed } } Fixes: 4703b4f0d94a ("RDMA/rxe: Enforce IBA C11-17") Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun <yanjun.zhu@xxxxxxxxx> --- V1->V2: Describe the error flows. --- drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_qp.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_qp.c b/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_qp.c index 22e9b85344c3..b79e1b43454e 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_qp.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_qp.c @@ -804,13 +804,15 @@ static void rxe_qp_do_cleanup(struct work_struct *work) if (qp->rq.queue) rxe_queue_cleanup(qp->rq.queue); - atomic_dec(&qp->scq->num_wq); - if (qp->scq) + if (qp->scq) { + atomic_dec(&qp->scq->num_wq); rxe_put(qp->scq); + } - atomic_dec(&qp->rcq->num_wq); - if (qp->rcq) + if (qp->rcq) { + atomic_dec(&qp->rcq->num_wq); rxe_put(qp->rcq); + } if (qp->pd) rxe_put(qp->pd); -- 2.34.1
