From: Dotan Barak <dotanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d64bf89a75b65f83f06be9fb8f978e60d53752db ] rds_ibdev:ipaddr_list and rds_ibdev:conn_list are initialized after allocation some resources such as protection domain. If allocation of such resources fail, then these uninitialized variables are accessed in rds_ib_dev_free() in failure path. This can potentially crash the system. The code has been updated to initialize these variables very early in the function.
