scsi: zfcp: fix use-after-free by not tracing WKA port open/close on failed send Dan Carpenter kindly reported: <quote> The patch d27a7cb91960: "zfcp: trace on request for open and close of WKA port" from Aug 10, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_fsf.c:1615 zfcp_fsf_open_wka_port() warn: 'req' was already freed. drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_fsf.c 1609 zfcp_fsf_start_timer(req, ZFCP_FSF_REQUEST_TIMEOUT); 1610 retval = zfcp_fsf_req_send(req); 1611 if (retval) 1612 zfcp_fsf_req_free(req); ^^^ Freed. 1613 out: 1614 spin_unlock_irq(&qdio->req_q_lock); 1615 if (req && !IS_ERR(req)) 1616 zfcp_dbf_rec_run_wka("fsowp_1", wka_port, req->req_id); ^^^^^^^^^^^ Use after free. 1617 return retval; 1618 } Same thing for zfcp_fsf_close_wka_port() as well. </quote> Rather than relying on req being NULL (or ERR_PTR) for all cases where we don't want to trace or should not trace, simply check retval which is unconditionally initialized with -EIO != 0 and it can only become 0 on successful retval = zfcp_fsf_req_send(req). With that we can also remove the then again unnecessary unconditional initialization of req which was introduced with that earlier commit.
