In order to create or activate a new node, lpfc_els_unsol_buffer() invokes lpfc_nlp_init() or lpfc_enable_node() or lpfc_nlp_get(), all of them will return a reference of the specified lpfc_nodelist object to "ndlp" with increased refcnt. When lpfc_els_unsol_buffer() returns, local variable "ndlp" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of lpfc_els_unsol_buffer(). When "ndlp" in DEV_LOSS, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by lpfc_nlp_init() or lpfc_enable_node() or lpfc_nlp_get(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling lpfc_nlp_put() when "ndlp" in DEV_LOSS.

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 Restructured Text 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.
