Subject: iscsi-target: avoid NULL pointer in iscsi_copy_param_list failure
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8ae757d09c45102b347a1bc2867f54ffc1ab8fda;p=linux-beck.git

iscsi-target: avoid NULL pointer in iscsi_copy_param_list failure

In iscsi_copy_param_list() a failed iscsi_param_list memory allocation
currently invokes iscsi_release_param_list() to cleanup, and will promptly
trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

Instead, go ahead and return for the first iscsi_copy_param_list()
failure case.
