[SCSI] libfc: fix memory corruption caused by double frees and bad er…
…ror 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.
