This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled RDMA/rtrs-srv: Do not pass a valid pointer to PTR_ERR() to the 5.10-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: rdma-rtrs-srv-do-not-pass-a-valid-pointer-to-ptr_err.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4c0d463d3b7f3dc243cd41de9fe4af71c5cfae2a Author: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Feb 16 15:38:07 2021 +0100 RDMA/rtrs-srv: Do not pass a valid pointer to PTR_ERR() [ Upstream commit ed408529679737a9a7ad816c8de5d59ba104bb11 ] smatch gives the warning: drivers/infiniband/ulp/rtrs/rtrs-srv.c:1805 rtrs_rdma_connect() warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR' Which is trying to say smatch has shown that srv is not an error pointer and thus cannot be passed to PTR_ERR. The solution is to move the list_add() down after full initilization of rtrs_srv. To avoid holding the srv_mutex too long, only hold it during the list operation as suggested by Leon.
