[PATCH 4.15 007/163] IB/core: Avoid a potential OOPs for an unused optional parameter

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Michael J. Ruhl <michael.j.ruhl@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2ff124d597c2df8696169ce0006fc974c49a4569 upstream.

The ev_file is an optional parameter for CQ creation. If the parameter
is not passed, the ev_file pointer will be NULL.  Using that pointer
to set the cq_context will result in an OOPs.

Verify that ev_file is not NULL before using.
