If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 681fd44c7ffaa056239439f513b37a6bb3b64b54 Author: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 29 20:43:12 2023 +0100 smb3: Improve exception handling in allocate_mr_list() [ Upstream commit 96d566b6c933be96e9f5b216f04024ab522e0465 ] The kfree() function was called in one case by the allocate_mr_list() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Thus use another label.
