From e2532b4af6366931e6f66b60338cf6b08a4b32ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Douglas Miller Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 08:17:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] scsi: qla2xxx: Fix oops in qla2x00_probe_one error path On error, kthread_create() returns an errno-encoded pointer, not NULL. The routine qla2x00_probe_one() detects the error case and jumps to probe_failed, but has already assigned the return value from kthread_create() to ha->dpc_thread. Then probe_failed checks to see if ha->dpc_thread is not NULL before doing cleanup on it. Since in the error case this is also not NULL, it ends up trying to access an invalid task pointer. Solution is to assign NULL to ha->dpc_thread in the error path to avoid kthread cleanup in that case. Signed-off-by: Douglas Miller Acked-by: Himanshu Madhani Signed-off-by: Martin K.
