H A Dfc_elsct.c8f550f93 Wed Oct 21 18:28:09 CDT 2009 Chris Leech <christopher.leech@intel.com> [SCSI] libfc: fix memory corruption caused by double frees and bad error handling

I was running into several different panics under stress, which I traced down
to a few different possible slab corruption issues in error handling paths.
I have not yet looked into why these exchange sends fail, but with these
fixes my test system is much more stable under stress than before.

fc_elsct_send() could fail and either leave the passed in frame intact
(failure in fc_ct/els_fill) or the frame could have been freed if the
failure was is fc_exch_seq_send(). The caller had no way of knowing, and
there was a potential double free in the error handling in fc_fcp_rec().

Make fc_elsct_send() always free the frame before returning, and remove the
fc_frame_free() call in fc_fcp_rec().

While fc_exch_seq_send() did always consume the frame, there were double free
bugs in the error handling of fc_fcp_cmd_send() and fc_fcp_srr() as well.

Numerous calls to error handling routines (fc_disc_error(),
fc_lport_error(), fc_rport_error_retry() ) were passing in a frame pointer that
had already been freed in the case of an error. I have changed the call
sites to pass in a NULL pointer, but there may be more appropriate error
codes to use.

Question: Why do these error routines take a frame pointer anyway? I
understand passing in a pointer encoded error to the response handlers, but
the error routines take no action on a valid pointer and should never be
called that way.
