If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2dfdbeba8649ebed16e1db727b32e27a4ba077a9 Author: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 4 23:26:22 2019 +0800 scsi: fnic: fix use after free [ Upstream commit ec990306f77fd4c58c3b27cc3b3c53032d6e6670 ] The memory chunk io_req is released by mempool_free. Accessing io_req->start_time will result in a use after free bug. The variable start_time is a backup of the timestamp. So, use start_time here to avoid use after free.
