cp might be null, calling cp->cp_conn would produce null dereference
[Simon Horman adds:]
Analysis:
* cp is a parameter of __rds_rdma_map and is not reassigned.
* The following call-sites pass a NULL cp argument to __rds_rdma_map()
- rds_get_mr()
- rds_get_mr_for_dest
* Prior to the code above, the following assumes that cp may be NULL
(which is indicative, but could itself be unnecessary)
trans_private = rs->rs_transport->get_mr(
sg, nents, rs, &mr->r_key, cp ? cp->cp_conn : NULL,
args->vec.addr, args->vec.bytes,
need_odp ? ODP_ZEROBASED : ODP_NOT_NEEDED);
* The code modified by this patch is guarded by IS_ERR(trans_private),
where trans_private is assigned as per the previous point in this analysis.
The only implementation of get_mr that I could locate is rds_ib_get_mr()
which can return an ERR_PTR if the conn (4th) argument is NULL.
* ret is set to PTR_ERR(trans_private).
rds_ib_get_mr can return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) if the conn (4th) argument is NULL.
Thus ret may be -ENODEV in which case the code in question will execute.
Conclusion:
* cp may be NULL at the point where this patch adds a check;
this patch does seem to address a possible bug

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
