    net/rds: fix possible cp null dereference · 62fc3357
    Mahmoud Adam authored
    cp might be null, calling cp->cp_conn would produce null dereference
    
    [Simon Horman adds:]
    
    Analysis:
    
    * cp is a parameter of __rds_rdma_map and is not reassigned.
    
    * The following call-sites pass a NULL cp argument to __rds_rdma_map()
    
      - rds_get_mr()
      - rds_get_mr_for_dest
    
    * Prior to the code above, the following assumes that cp may be NULL
      (which is indicative, but could itself be unnecessary)
    
    	trans_private = rs->rs_transport->get_mr(
    		sg, nents, rs, &mr->r_key, cp ? cp->cp_conn : NULL,
    		args->vec.addr, args->vec.bytes,
    		need_odp ? ODP_ZEROBASED : ODP_NOT_NEEDED);
    
    * The code modified by this patch is guarded by IS_ERR(trans_private),
      where trans_private is assigned as per the previous point in this analysis.
    
      The only implementation of get_mr that I could locate is rds_ib_get_mr()
      which can return an ERR_PTR if the conn (4th) argument is NULL.
    
    * ret is set to PTR_ERR(trans_private).
      rds_ib_get_mr can return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) if the conn (4th) argument is NULL.
      Thus ret may be -ENODEV in which case the code in question will execute.
    
    Conclusion:
    * cp may be NULL at the point where this patch adds a check;
      this patch does seem to address a possible bug
