[PATCH v2] scsi: hisi_sas: Fix NULL pointer dereference

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Thu Oct 18 2018 - 13:50:02 EST


There is a NULL pointer dereference in case *slot* happens to
be NULL at lines 1053 and 1878:

struct hisi_sas_cq *cq =
&hisi_hba->cq[slot->dlvry_queue];

Notice that *slot* is being NULL checked at lines 1057 and 1881:
if (slot), which implies it may be NULL.

Fix this by placing the declaration and definition of variable cq,
which contains the pointer dereference slot->dlvry_queue, after
slot has been properly NULL checked.
