[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Check queue pointer before use

[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Check queue pointer before use

[Daniel Wagner]

The queue pointer might not be valid. The rest of the code checks the
pointer before accessing it. lpfc_sli4_process_missed_mbox_completions
is the only place where the check is missing.

Hi,

Not entirely sure if this correct. I tried to understand the logic of
the mentioned patch but failed to grasps all the details. Anyway, we
observe a crash in lpfc_sli4_process_missed_mbox_completions() while
iterating the array. All but the last one entry has a valid pointer.

Thanks,
Daniel

Applied to 5.4/scsi-fixes, thanks!
