From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1...@gmail.com> [ Upstream commit e82f04ec6ba91065fd33a6201ffd7cab840e1475 ]
In qla2x00_alloc_fcport(), fcport is assigned to NULL in the error handling code on line 4880: fcport = NULL; Then fcport is used on lines 4883-4886: INIT_WORK(&fcport->del_work, qla24xx_delete_sess_fn); INIT_WORK(&fcport->reg_work, qla_register_fcport_fn); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&fcport->gnl_entry); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&fcport->list); Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur. To fix these bugs, qla2x00_alloc_fcport() directly returns NULL in the error handling code. These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
