This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvmet-tcp: fix a crash in nvmet_req_complete() to the 5.15-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: nvmet-tcp-fix-a-crash-in-nvmet_req_complete.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9b2e2211495be8c568b3467963e29d4531fd35a4 Author: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 22 16:17:49 2023 +0100 nvmet-tcp: fix a crash in nvmet_req_complete() [ Upstream commit 0849a5441358cef02586fb2d60f707c0db195628 ] in nvmet_tcp_handle_h2c_data_pdu(), if the host sends a data_offset different from rbytes_done, the driver ends up calling nvmet_req_complete() passing a status error. The problem is that at this point cmd->req is not yet initialized, the kernel will crash after dereferencing a NULL pointer. Fix the bug by replacing the call to nvmet_req_complete() with nvmet_tcp_fatal_error().
