答复: [PATCH] scsi: mpt3sas: fix invalid kfree of embedded event_data in event callback

[Li,Rongqing]

> 
> fw_event->event_data is a flexible array member embedded within the
> fw_event_work structure (allocated as a single kzalloc). Calling
> kfree(fw_event->event_data) on it is invalid and can corrupt the heap, since it
> is not a separately allocated pointer.
> 
> The subsequent fw_event_work_put() will decrement the refcount to zero
> and call fw_event_work_free(), which frees the entire fw_event_work
> structure (including the embedded event_data). The extra kfree() is therefore
> both wrong and redundant.
> 
> Remove the erroneous kfree(fw_event->event_data) call in the
> MPI2_EVENT_SAS_TOPOLOGY_CHANGE_LIST error path. The PCIE topology
> change list handler already handles this correctly without the extra kfree.
> 
> Fixes: ad59571931072e6f ("scsi: mpt3sas: Add firmware event requeue
> support for busy devices")
