[PATCH 3.12 050/133] staging/lustre/ptlrpc: Fix a crash when dereferencing NULL pointer

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Feb 04 2014 - 17:21:23 EST


3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Shehata <amir.shehata@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 3c92a0bf4d72737035a16c4fe357ccd439c9b7d2 upstream.

When a system runs out of memory and the function
ptlrpc_register_bulk() is called from ptl_send_rpc() the call to
LNetMEAttach() fails due to failure to allocate memory. This forces
the code into an error path, which most probably previously went
untested. The error path:
if (rc != 0) {
CERROR("%s: LNetMEAttach failed x"LPU64"/%d: rc = %dn",
desc->bd_export->exp_obd->obd_name, xid,
posted_md, rc);
break;
}
This print assumes that desc->bd_export is not NULL. However, it is.
In fact it is expected to be NULL. desc->bd_import is the correct
structure to access in this case.
