[PATCH] scsi: elx: libefc: potential use after free in efc_nport_vport_del()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Thu Aug 15 2024 - 07:29:34 EST


The kref_put() function will call nport->release if the refcount drops
to zero. The nport->release release function is _efc_nport_free() which
frees "nport". But then we dereference "nport" on the next line which
is a use after free. Re-order these lines to avoid the use after free.
