Subject: [PATCH net] net/rds: Fix error handling in rds_ib_add_one()
Date: Tue,  1 Oct 2019 10:21:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1569950462-37680-1-git-send-email-sudhakar.dindukurti@oracle.com> (raw)

From: Dotan Barak <dotanb@dev.mellanox.co.il>

rds_ibdev:ipaddr_list and rds_ibdev:conn_list are initialized
after allocation some resources such as protection domain.
If allocation of such resources fail, then these uninitialized
variables are accessed in rds_ib_dev_free() in failure path. This
can potentially crash the system. The code has been updated to
initialize these variables very early in the function.
