Fix an error path in SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND that calls blk_put_request(rq) on an invalid IS_ERR(rq) pointer.
Fixes: a492f075450f ("block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios") Signed-off-by: Tony Battersby <to...@cybernetics.com> --- (resending, since no one picked it up last time) For inclusion in 3.18 only. This fixes a problem introduced in 3.18. Note: this fixes a *different* problem from Jan Kara's patch with a similar subject line, which has already been applied to mainline. --- a/block/scsi_ioctl.c +++ b/block/scsi_ioctl.c @@ -458,7 +458,7 @@ int sg_scsi_ioctl(struct request_queue *q, struct gendisk *disk, fmode_t mode, rq = blk_get_request(q, in_len ?
