[PATCH] scsi: hptiop: Add check for device-provided context pointer in ITL callback

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Thu Sep 18 2025 - 22:11:34 EST


An untrusted device may return a NULL context pointer in the request
header. hptiop_iop_request_callback_itl() dereferences that pointer
unconditionally to write result fields and to invoke arg->done(), which
can cause a NULL pointer dereference.

Add a NULL check for the reconstructed context pointer. If it is NULL,
acknowledge the request by writing the tag to the outbound queue and
return early.
