Subject: [s390] zfcp: fix use after free bug
Message-id: 20071210130625.GH29540@redhat.com
O-Subject: [RHEL5 U2 PATCH 8/8] s390 - zfcp: fix use after free bug.
Bugzilla: 412881
RH-Acked-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com>

Description
============

zfcp_erp_strategy_check_fsfreq() checks if it is safe to access the
fsf_req associated with the erp_action that gets passed. To test if
it is safe it accesses the fsf_req in order to get its index into
the hash list.

This is broken since the fsf_req might be freed already
and the read index has no meaning. It could lead to memory corruption.
Fix this by introducing a new zfcp_reqlist_find_safe() method which
just checks if addresses are equal. This is slower, but only gets
called in case of error recovery.
