Subject: [PATCH 5.6 113/194] IB/core: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in pkey cache

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@....mellanox.co.il>

[ Upstream commit 1901b91f99821955eac2bd48fe25ee983385dc00 ]

The IB core pkey cache is populated by procedure ib_cache_update().
Initially, the pkey cache pointer is NULL. ib_cache_update allocates a
buffer and populates it with the device's pkeys, via repeated calls to
procedure ib_query_pkey().

If there is a failure in populating the pkey buffer via ib_query_pkey(),
ib_cache_update does not replace the old pkey buffer cache with the
updated one -- it leaves the old cache as is.

Since initially the pkey buffer cache is NULL, when calling
ib_cache_update the first time, a failure in ib_query_pkey() will cause
the pkey buffer cache pointer to remain NULL.

In this situation, any calls subsequent to ib_get_cached_pkey(),
ib_find_cached_pkey(), or ib_find_cached_pkey_exact() will try to
dereference the NULL pkey cache pointer, causing a kernel panic.

Fix this by checking the ib_cache_update() return value.

Fixes: 8faea9fd4a39 ("RDMA/cache: Move the cache per-port data into the main ib_port_data")
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
