From: Ales Novak <alnovak@xxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit b12bb60d6c350b348a4e1460cd68f97ccae9822e upstream. If the initialization of storvsc fails, the storvsc_device_destroy() causes NULL pointer dereference. storvsc_bus_scan() scsi_scan_target() __scsi_scan_target() scsi_probe_and_add_lun(hostdata=NULL) scsi_alloc_sdev(hostdata=NULL) sdev->hostdata = hostdata now the host allocation fails __scsi_remove_device(sdev) calls sdev->host->hostt->slave_destroy() == storvsc_device_destroy(sdev) access of sdev->hostdata->request_mempool Signed-off-by: Ales Novak <alnovak@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Thomas Abraham <tabraham@xxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: K.
