From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <gustavo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f4445bb93d82a984657b469e63118c2794a4c3d3 ] There is a NULL pointer dereference in case *slot* happens to be NULL at lines 1053 and 1878: struct hisi_sas_cq *cq = &hisi_hba->cq[slot->dlvry_queue]; Notice that *slot* is being NULL checked at lines 1057 and 1881: if (slot), which implies it may be NULL. Fix this by placing the declaration and definition of variable cq, which contains the pointer dereference slot->dlvry_queue, after slot has been properly NULL checked.
