If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8ed61a0e8334611bb88a367390e4f8f867c1b9b0 Author: yuuzheng <yuuzheng@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 2 22:25:28 2020 +0530 scsi: pm80xx: Fix pm8001_mpi_get_nvmd_resp() race condition [ Upstream commit 1f889b58716a5f5e3e4fe0e6742c1a4472f29ac1 ] A use-after-free or null-pointer error occurs when the 251-byte response data is copied from IOMB buffer to response message buffer in function pm8001_mpi_get_nvmd_resp(). After sending the command get_nvmd_data(), the caller begins to sleep by calling wait_for_complete() and waits for the wake-up from calling complete() in pm8001_mpi_get_nvmd_resp(). Due to unexpected events (e.g., interrupt), if response buffer gets freed before memcpy(), a use-after-free error will occur. To fix this, the complete() should be called after memcpy().
