Can you test just the one liner fix below?

@@ -1452,7 +1452,7 @@
isert_login_recv_done(struct ib_cq *cq, struct ib_wc *wc)
{
struct isert_conn *isert_conn = wc->qp->qp_context;
- struct ib_device *ib_dev = isert_conn->cm_id->device;
+ struct ib_device *ib_dev = isert_conn->device->ib_device;
if (unlikely(wc->status != IB_WC_SUCCESS)) {
isert_print_wc(wc, "login recv");

I'll test also this one-liner fix as soon as I can.

But I can say that I'm pretty sure it will work as well, because all the
previous NULL pointer dereferences that we've got in the past happened
all 100% in isert_login_recv_done(). The other cases are probably a safe
precaution, but they can't really happen.

Agree, I'd prefer to start with a surgical fix before moving forward.
