[PATCH v2] RDMA/srpt: fix NULL deref when sending BUSY before target_init_cmd()
From: kensanya
Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 22:46:43 EST
From: TanZheng <tanzheng@xxxxxxxxxx>
If srpt_get_desc_tbl() fails, srpt_handle_cmd() jumps to
target_send_busy() before target_init_cmd() has set cmd->se_tfo.
target_send_busy() then dereferences a NULL se_tfo.
Call target_init_cmd() first with placeholder data_length and
data_direction, parse the descriptor table next, then fill in the
real data_length. That way target_send_busy() is safe if parsing
fails.
target_send_busy() is only valid after a successful target_init_cmd().
If target_init_cmd() itself fails, free the send ioctx tag locally
with target_free_tag() instead of calling target_send_busy().

v2:
- On target_init_cmd() failure, use target_free_tag() instead of
target_send_busy()
