| |
3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joern Engel <joern@logfs.org>
commit 8ae757d09c45102b347a1bc2867f54ffc1ab8fda upstream.
In iscsi_copy_param_list() a failed iscsi_param_list memory allocation currently invokes iscsi_release_param_list() to cleanup, and will promptly trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
Instead, go ahead and return for the first iscsi_copy_param_list() failure case.
Found by coverity.
