+Subject: ipmi:msghandler: Fix potential memory corruption in ipmi_create_user()
+
+From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>
+
+commit fa332f5dc6fc662ad7d3200048772c96b861cf6b upstream.
+
+The "intf" list iterator is an invalid pointer if the correct
+"intf->intf_num" is not found. Calling atomic_dec(&intf->nr_users) on
+and invalid pointer will lead to memory corruption.
+
+We don't really need to call atomic_dec() if we haven't called
+atomic_add_return() so update the if (intf->in_shutdown) path as well.
+
+Fixes: 8e76741c3d8b ("ipmi: Add a limit on the number of users that may use IPMI")

+[ - Dropped change to the `if (intf->in_shutdown)` block since that logic
+ doesn't exist yet.
+ - Modified out_unlock to release the srcu lock instead of the mutex
+ since we don't have the mutex here yet. ]
