There are several code paths where the following sequence occurs: - An ndlp pointer is assigned to an iocb via a nlp_get() - An attempt is made to issue the iocb, but it fails - The failure case does a put on the ndlp then calls lpfc_els_free_iocb() The put may free the ndlp structure, but the els_free_iocb may reference the now-stale ndlp pointer and cause a crash. Fix by ensuring that the lpfc_els_free_iocb() occurs before the lpfc_nlp_put(). While fixing, refactor the code to better ensure this calling sequence.

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.
