[PATCH 1/2] mmc: v4.14: Fix null pointer dereference in mmc_init_request

From: Raul E Rangel
Date: Wed May 08 2019 - 14:59:52 EST


It is possible for queuedata to be cleared in mmc_cleanup_queue before
the request has been started. This will result in dereferencing a null
pointer.

I think we should cherry-pick 41e3efd07d5a02c80f503e29d755aa1bbb4245de
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/856512/ into 4.14. It fixes a
potential resource leak when shutting down the request queue. Once this
patch is applied, there is a potential for a null pointer dereference.
That's what this patch fixes. The next patch is just an optimization to
stop processing earlier.

See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10925469/ for the initial
motivation.

This commit applies to v4.14.116.

This doesn't apply to 5.1 since mmc has been migrated to blk-mq.

Thanks,
Raul
