Subject: [PATCH] NFS-RDMA: fix qp pointer validation checks

From: Devesh Sharma <[email protected]>

If the rdma_create_qp fails to create qp due to device firmware being in invalid state
xprtrdma still tries to destroy the non-existant qp and ends up in a NULL pointer reference
crash.
Adding proper checks for vaidating QP pointer avoids this to happen.

AFAICS your patch does nothing to address that problem. Instead it adds tests for IS_ERR(ia->ri_id->qp), which can never happen because ia->ri_id->qp is either NULL or points to a valid structure.

Yes, This is correct, I should check for a NULL pointer instead of IS_ERR(). I will send a V1 for this.

Sure, but that is a NULL pointer dereference. Why are you adding these tests for IS_ERR(), which won't catch NULL pointers, and are instead testing for conditions that can never happen?

As far as I can see, rdma_create_qp() only sets id->qp on success. Otherwise it is left with the same value as it had on entry (i.e. NULL). What am I missing?
[DS]: If you focus on rpcrdma_ep_connect() function and assume that rdma_create_qp() has failed with some valid error code, then this callback function will return ep->rep_connected = some non-zero.
Eventually xprt_rdma_connect_worker() will call rpcrdma_ep_connect() again and rpcrdma_ep_connect will try to free-up all the resources, now rdma_destroy_qp() will be called with invalid QP (which is NULL) pointer
And hence kernel will panic. Please correct me if I am worng.

Sure, but that is a NULL pointer dereference. Why are you adding these tests for IS_ERR(), which won?t catch NULL pointers, and are instead testing for conditions that can never happen?

As far as I can see, rdma_create_qp() only sets id->qp on success. Otherwise it is left with the same value as it had on entry (i.e. NULL). What am I missing?
