4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit fce50a2fa4e9c6e103915c351b6d4a98661341d6 upstream. This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference in isert_login_recv_done() of isert_conn->cm_id due to isert_cma_handler() -> isert_connect_error() resetting isert_conn->cm_id = NULL during a failed login attempt. As per Sagi, we will always see the completion of all recv wrs posted on the qp (given that we assigned a ->done handler), this is a FLUSH error completion, we just don't get to verify that because we deref NULL before. The issue here, was the assumption that dereferencing the connection cm_id is always safe, which is not true since: commit 4a579da2586bd3b79b025947ea24ede2bbfede62 Author: Sagi Grimberg <sagig@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Mar 29 15:52:04 2015 +0300 iser-target: Fix possible deadlock in RDMA_CM connection error As I see it, we have a direct reference to the isert_device from isert_conn which is the one-liner fix that we actually need like we do in isert_rdma_read_done() and isert_rdma_write_done().
