Hello Javed Hasan, The patch ec007ef40abb: "scsi: libfc: Free skb in fc_disc_gpn_id_resp() for valid cases" from Jul 29, 2020, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_disc.c:638 fc_disc_gpn_id_resp() warn: '&fp->skb' double freed drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_disc.c 568 static void fc_disc_gpn_id_resp(struct fc_seq *sp, struct fc_frame *fp, 569 void *rdata_arg) 570 { 571 struct fc_rport_priv *rdata = rdata_arg; 572 struct fc_rport_priv *new_rdata; 573 struct fc_lport *lport; 574 struct fc_disc *disc; 575 struct fc_ct_hdr *cp; 576 struct fc_ns_gid_pn *pn; 577 u64 port_name; 578 579 lport = rdata->local_port; 580 disc = &lport->disc; 581 582 if (PTR_ERR(fp) == -FC_EX_CLOSED) 583 goto out; 584 if (IS_ERR(fp)) { 585 mutex_lock(&disc->disc_mutex); 586 fc_disc_restart(disc); 587 mutex_unlock(&disc->disc_mutex); This call to fc_disc_restart(disc); was added in the commit, but it wasn't mentioned in the commit message so I suspect it was committed by mistake. 588 goto out; 589 } 590 591 cp = fc_frame_payload_get(fp, sizeof(*cp)); 592 if (!cp) 593 goto redisc; 594 if (ntohs(cp->ct_cmd) == FC_FS_ACC) { 595 if (fr_len(fp) < sizeof(struct fc_frame_header) + 596 sizeof(*cp) + sizeof(*pn)) 597 goto redisc; 598 pn = (struct fc_ns_gid_pn *)(cp + 1); 599 port_name = get_unaligned_be64(&pn->fn_wwpn); 600 mutex_lock(&rdata->rp_mutex); 601 if (rdata->ids.port_name == -1) 602 rdata->ids.port_name = port_name; 603 else if (rdata->ids.port_name != port_name) { 604 FC_DISC_DBG(disc, "GPN_ID accepted.
