Subject: net/mlx5: Reorder completion before putting command entry in cmd_work_handler
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=02896a7fa4cd3ec61d60ba30136841e4f04bdeac;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

net/mlx5: Reorder completion before putting command entry in cmd_work_handler

Assuming callback != NULL && !page_queue, cmd_work_handler takes
command entry with refcnt == 1 from mlx5_cmd_invoke.
If either semaphore timeout or index allocation error happens,
it does final cmd_ent_put(ent). To avoid access to freed memory,
notify slotted completion before cmd_ent_put.

This is theoretical issue found by Svace static analyser.
