[PATCH] net: xfrm: assign the per_cpu_ptr pointer before return

From: Dongliang Mu
Date: Tue Aug 17 2021 - 23:26:23 EST


In ipcomp_alloc_scratches, if the vmalloc fails, there leaves an oudated
pointer in *per_cpu_ptr(scratches, i). However, in the error handling of
ipcomp_init_state, if ipcomp_alloc_scratches fails, it will invoke
ipcomp_free_scratches directly. This functio will vfree the per_cpu_ptr
pointer. If the pointer points to an invalid memory, the kernel crashes.

Fix this by moving the assignment of per_cpu_ptr point before return.
