[SCSI] libsas: fix handling vacant phy in sas_set_ex_phy() If a result of the SMP discover function is PHY VACANT, the content of discover response structure (dr) is not valid. It sometimes happens that dr->attached_sas_addr can contain even SAS address of other phy. In such case an invalid phy is created, what causes NULL pointer dereference during destruction of expander's phys. So if a result of SMP function is PHY VACANT, the content of discover response structure (dr) must not be copied to phy structure. This patch fixes the following bug: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000030 IP: [<ffffffff811c9002>] sysfs_find_dirent+0x12/0x90 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811c95f5>] sysfs_get_dirent+0x35/0x80 [<ffffffff811cb55e>] sysfs_unmerge_group+0x1e/0xb0 [<ffffffff813329f4>] dpm_sysfs_remove+0x24/0x90 [<ffffffff8132b0f4>] device_del+0x44/0x1d0 [<ffffffffa016fc59>] sas_rphy_delete+0x9/0x20 [scsi_transport_sas] [<ffffffffa01a16f6>] sas_destruct_devices+0xe6/0x110 [libsas] [<ffffffff8107ac7c>] process_one_work+0x16c/0x350 [<ffffffff8107d84a>] worker_thread+0x17a/0x410 [<ffffffff81081b76>] kthread+0x96/0xa0 [<ffffffff81464944>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 Signed-off-by: Lukasz Dorau <lukasz.dorau@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Pawel Baldysiak <pawel.baldysiak@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej Patelczyk <maciej.patelczyk@intel.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>
