From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@canonical.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.223 commit db0d90490674c297a2e15a1ca3e40cd6975c30dc -------------------------------- commit 2b5160b12091285c5aca45980f100a9294af7b04 upstream. In case, init_srcu_struct fails (because of memory allocation failure), we might proceed with the driver initialization despite srcu_struct not being entirely initialized. Fixes: 913a89f009d9 ("ipmi: Don't initialize anything in the core until something uses it") Signed-off-by: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@canonical.com> Cc: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Message-Id: <20211217154410.1228673-1-cascardo@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Yongqiang Liu <liuyongqiang13@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Laibin Qiu <qiulaibin@huawei.com> --- drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c b/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c index 19c33a86c1b8..9b66afeb1237 100644 --- a/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c +++ b/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c @@ -5083,7 +5083,9 @@ static int ipmi_init_msghandler(void) if (initialized) goto out; - init_srcu_struct(&ipmi_interfaces_srcu); + rv = init_srcu_struct(&ipmi_interfaces_srcu); + if (rv) + goto out; timer_setup(&ipmi_timer, ipmi_timeout, 0); mod_timer(&ipmi_timer, jiffies + IPMI_TIMEOUT_JIFFIES); -- 2.22.0
