From: Nitzan Carmi <nitzanc@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ibmr.device is being set only after ib_alloc_mr() is (successfully) complete. Therefore, in case mlx5_core_create_mkey() return with error, the error flow calls mlx5_free_priv_descs() which uses ibmr.device (which doesn't exist yet), causing NULL dereference and gets the system into kernel panic. To fix this, the IB device should be given to mr struct in earlier stage (e.g. prior to calling mlx5_core_create_mkey()).
