4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Sanchez <sebastian.sanchez@xxxxxxxxx> commit 45d924571a5e1329580811f2419da61b07ac3613 upstream. When an invalid num_vls is used as a module parameter, the code execution follows an exception path where the macro dd_dev_err() expects dd->pcidev->dev not to be NULL in hfi1_init_dd(). This causes a NULL pointer dereference. Fix hfi1_init_dd() by initializing dd->pcidev and dd->pcidev->dev earlier in the code. If a dd exists, then dd->pcidev and dd->pcidev->dev always exists. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000f0 IP: __dev_printk+0x15/0x90 Workqueue: events work_for_cpu_fn RIP: 0010:__dev_printk+0x15/0x90 Call Trace: dev_err+0x6c/0x90 ? hfi1_init_pportdata+0x38d/0x3f0 [hfi1] hfi1_init_dd+0xdd/0x2530 [hfi1] ? pci_conf1_read+0xb2/0xf0 ? pci_read_config_word.part.9+0x64/0x80 ? pci_conf1_write+0xb0/0xf0 ? pcie_capability_clear_and_set_word+0x57/0x80 init_one+0x141/0x490 [hfi1] local_pci_probe+0x3f/0xa0 work_for_cpu_fn+0x10/0x20 process_one_work+0x152/0x350 worker_thread+0x1cf/0x3e0 kthread+0xf5/0x130 ? max_active_store+0x80/0x80 ? kthread_bind+0x10/0x10 ? do_syscall_64+0x6e/0x1a0 ?
