pnvme_lport is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference. Fix this by null checking pnvme_lport before it is dereferenced.

Silva <garsilva@embeddedor.com> --- Also, I wonder if the right pointer to check at line: if (!pnvme_rport || !freqpriv) { is pnvme_fcreq instead of freqpriv drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_nvme.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
