This series collects four independent fixes found while auditing error
and command-processing paths in the NVMe host and target drivers. Each
is standalone; they only share the same subsystem.
1. nvmet: an Identify CNS 07h (active NS list for a command set)
dereferences req->ns, which is always NULL on that path -> NULL
pointer oops. Also fixes the filter to test the iterated ns->csi.
2. nvmet: nvmet_ns_enable() ignores the percpu_ref_init() return value
and reports success to userspace when it fails, leaving the ns dead.
3. nvme-pci: the per-NUMA-node descriptor DMA pools, created lazily on
admin tag set allocation, are only freed in nvme_remove(); a probe
failure after that point leaks them.
4. nvme: nvme_query_fdp_info() trusts the device-supplied nruhsd count
and can read past the fixed-size RUH status buffer (heap OOB read).
Found by code audit. #1 and #2 are functional/crash fixes; #3 is a
resource leak; #4 is device-triggered hardening. Compile-tested.
Guixin Liu (4):
nvmet: fix NULL pointer dereference in nvmet_execute_identify_nslist()
nvmet: propagate percpu_ref_init() failure in nvmet_ns_enable()
nvme-pci: release descriptor pools on probe failure
nvme: clamp FDP placement handle count to the buffer size
