In lpfc_bsg_hba_get_event() and lpfc_bsg_hba_set_event(), we
should keep the refcount balance when there is some error or
the *evt* will be replaced.

Fixes: f1c3b0fcbb81 ("[SCSI] lpfc 8.3.4: Add bsg (SGIOv4) support for ELS/CT support")

Hi Liang,

if (&evt->node == &phba->ct_ev_waiters) was true, then that means the
ct_ev_waiters list was empty so the *evt ptr is not pointing to a real
lpfc_bsg_event structure.  I think we would even crash trying to
decrement evt’s kref because evt is an uninitialized lpfc_bsg_event
structure and not pointing to anything real.  We’re about to kzalloc a
new evt with lpfc_bsg_event_new in this same if statement clause
anyways.  I’m not clear on the reasoning behind the suggestion to call
lpfc_bsg_event_unref(evt) there.

Similar argument here.  If (evt_dat == NULL) was true, then that means
there was nothing of interest in the ct_ev_waiters list or that the
ct_ev_waiters list was empty.  In either case, we shouldn’t call
lpfc_bsg_event_unref(evt) because we would be decrementing the wrong
reg_id evt’s kref or even crash if the ct_ev_waiters list was empty
trying to kref_put an uninitialized lpfc_bsg_event structure.

Justin

Hi, Justin,

Thanks for your kindly explaination.

My patch is indeed wrong, as I have not realized the semantic of "&evt->node == &phba->ct_ev_waiters".

Thanks and sorry for my trouble.
