[PATCH] RDMA/hns: fix dead empty check on head->root in setup_root_hem()
Posted by Maoyi Xie 3 days, 6 hours ago
setup_root_hem() reads head->root with list_first_entry() and then
tests the returned pointer against NULL. list_first_entry() never
returns NULL. On an empty list it returns container_of(&head->root,
struct hns_roce_hem_item, list), which equals &head->root because
list is the first member. The -ENOMEM early return is dead code.

If head->root is ever empty here, the aliased root_hem points at
&head->root. root_hem->addr and root_hem->dma_addr then read past
the end of struct hns_roce_hem_head into adjacent memory. The
garbage value is handed to the hardware as a DMA base address.

Use list_first_entry_or_null() so the empty case returns NULL and the
-ENOMEM early return runs.

The same shape has been cleaned up elsewhere, for example in
commit fbb8bc408027 ("net: qed: Remove redundant NULL checks after list_first_entry()"),
commit c708d3fad421 ("crypto: atmel - use list_first_entry_or_null to simplify find_dev"),
and commit 10379171f346 ("ksmbd: use list_first_entry_or_null for opinfo_get_list()").
This hns site was missed by those cleanups.
