4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Daniel Axtens <dja@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2c069a118fe1d80c47dca84e1561045fc7f3cc9e upstream. The pointer to an AFU in the adapter's list of AFUs can be null if we're in the process of removing AFUs. The afu_list_lock doesn't guard against this. Say we have 2 slices, and we're in the process of removing cxl. - We remove the AFUs in order (see cxl_remove). In cxl_remove_afu for AFU 0, we take the lock, set adapter->afu[0] = NULL, and release the lock. - Then we get an slbia. In cxl_slbia we take the lock, and set afu = adapter->afu[0], which is NULL. - Therefore our attempt to check afu->enabled will blow up. Therefore, check if afu is a null pointer before dereferencing it.
