Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Fix NULL pointer problem in free_mr_init()
Lock grab occurs in a concurrent scenario, resulting in stepping on a NULL
pointer. It should be init mutex_init() first before use the lock.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
