From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The IB core pkey cache is populated by procedure ib_cache_update().
Initially, the pkey cache pointer is NULL. ib_cache_update allocates
a buffer and populates it with the device's pkeys, via repeated calls
to procedure ib_query_pkey().
If there is a failure in populating the pkey buffer via ib_query_pkey(),
ib_cache_update does not replace the old pkey buffer cache with the
updated one -- it leaves the old cache as is.
Since initially the pkey buffer cache is NULL, when calling
ib_cache_update the first time, a failure in ib_query_pkey() will cause
the pkey buffer cache pointer to remain NULL.
In this situation, any calls subsequent to ib_get_cached_pkey(),
ib_find_cached_pkey(), or ib_find_cached_pkey_exact() will try to
dereference the NULL pkey cache pointer, causing a kernel panic.
Fix this by checking the ib_cache_update() return value.
