[PATCH 3.2 006/147] usb: storage: return on error to avoid a null pointer dereference

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Nov 06 2017 - 20:29:04 EST


3.2.95-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 446230f52a5bef593554510302465eabab45a372 upstream.

When us->extra is null the driver is not initialized, however, a
later call to osd200_scsi_to_ata is made that dereferences
us->extra, causing a null pointer dereference. The code
currently detects and reports that the driver is not initialized;
add a return to avoid the subsequent dereference issue in this
check.

Thanks to Alan Stern for pointing out that srb->result needs setting
to DID_ERROR << 16
