This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ublk_drv: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery() to the 6.1-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: ublk_drv-fix-null-pointer-dereference-in-ublk_ctrl_s.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 983297b71fd637e48d2b1447a70e102dacc879f6 Author: Li Nan <linan122@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 4 11:13:48 2024 +0800 ublk_drv: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery() [ Upstream commit e58f5142f88320a5b1449f96a146f2f24615c5c7 ] When two UBLK_CMD_START_USER_RECOVERY commands are submitted, the first one sets 'ubq->ubq_daemon' to NULL, and the second one triggers WARN in ublk_queue_reinit() and subsequently a NULL pointer dereference issue. Fix it by adding the check in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery() and return immediately in case of zero 'ub->nr_queues_ready'.
