[PATCH] IB/hfi1: Fix possible null-pointer dereference in _extend_sdma_tx_descs()

From: Tuo Li
Date: Thu Aug 05 2021 - 08:25:46 EST


kmalloc_array() is called to allocate memory for tx->descp. If it fails,
the function __sdma_txclean() is called:
__sdma_txclean(dd, tx);

However, in the function __sdma_txclean(), tx-descp is dereferenced if
tx->num_desc is not zero:
sdma_unmap_desc(dd, &tx->descp[0]);

To fix this possible null-pointer dereference, assign 0 to tx->num_desc if
kmalloc_array() returns NULL.
