[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.14 11/99] scsi: lpfc: Fix NULL ptr dereference with NPIV ports for RDF handling

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Thu Sep 09 2021 - 20:16:36 EST


From: James Smart <jsmart2021@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2d338eb55b14ab9d245e8b1d982adecca8c4c613 ]

RDF ELS handling for NPIV ports may result in an incorrect NDLP reference
count. In the event of a persistent link down, this may lead to premature
release of an NDLP structure and subsequent NULL ptr dereference panic.

Remove extraneous lpfc_nlp_put() call in NPIV port RDF processing.
