Subject: [PATCH] scsi: qedi: qedi_main.c: modify the code flow in 'qedi_alloc_global_queues'

When goto the mem_alloc_failure, it will result in a null pointer
reference to variable 'gl' in function 'qedi_free_global_queues',
due to the 'qedi->global_queues' not being allocated.

Fix this by returning -EINVAL directly.

The issue is found by static analysis and remains untested. Meanwhile,
this patches is similar with qedf which Jinhong Zhu fixed already.

The patch looks ok:

Reviewed-by: Mike Christie <[email protected]>

Looks like there is another issue in this code path though. If
qedi_alloc_global_queues fails in qedi_set_iscsi_pf_param the err_alloc_mem
goto just ends up returning, so the p_cpuq allocation a couple lines before
the qedi_set_iscsi_pf_param call will be leaked.

The __qedi_probe call to qedi_set_iscsi_pf_param just frees the iscsi host,
so it won't be freed via a qedi_free_iscsi_pf_param later. So, I think
qedi_set_iscsi_pf_param's err_alloc_mem goto handler should free the p_cpuq.

Dan,

Really sorry about this embarrassing situation. We don't intend to flood
any emails to LKML.

Our robot development introduced a logic error in checking if patches
are sent out to LKML.This robot should only check the patches sent to
this internal review mailing list, instead of patches sent to LKML.

I spent hours today to write say-sorry emails about our mistake. :(
