| Series | scsi: lpfc: Fix a possible null pointer dereference | expand |
Hi, I'm a newbie in the Linux community. Due to my oversight, the patch I submitted has an extra blank line, causing two consecutive emails to lack a subject. However, these emails are identical in content to the one with a subject. Please review the email with a subject. Apologies for any confusion caused. Thanks, Liu.

In function lpfc_xcvr_data_show, the memory allocation with kmalloc might fail, thereby making rdp_context a null pointer. In the following context and functions that use this pointer, there are dereferencing operations, leading to null pointer dereference. To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null, write error message and jump to 'out_free_rdp'.
