From: Swen Schillig <swen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Aborting a SCSI cmnd might requrie to send a abort_fsf_cmnd. If the creation of this fsf_req fails an ERR_PTR is returned where a NULL value would be expected as an error indicator. This ERR_PTR is dereferenced as valid fsf_req in succeeding processing leading to an error.
