This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: ufs: fix potential bug which ends in system hang to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-ufs-fix-potential-bug-which-ends-in-system-hang.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 348ca002a3297e539829c313b7e7ee97737c8e6e Author: Bean Huo <beanhuo@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 12 23:34:36 2019 +0100 scsi: ufs: fix potential bug which ends in system hang [ Upstream commit cfcbae3895b86c390ede57b2a8f601dd5972b47b ] In function __ufshcd_query_descriptor(), in the event of an error happening, we directly goto out_unlock and forget to invaliate hba->dev_cmd.query.descriptor pointer. This results in this pointer still valid in ufshcd_copy_query_response() for other query requests which go through ufshcd_exec_raw_upiu_cmd(). This will cause __memcpy() crash and system hangs.
