In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/adreno: Assign msm_gpu->pdev earlier to avoid nullptrs There are some cases, such as the one uncovered by Commit 46d4efcccc68 ("drm/msm/a6xx: Avoid a nullptr dereference when speedbin setting fails") where msm_gpu_cleanup() : platform_set_drvdata(gpu->pdev, NULL); is called on gpu->pdev == NULL, as the GPU device has not been fully initialized yet. Turns out that there's more than just the aforementioned path that causes this to happen (e.g. the case when there's speedbin data in the catalog, but opp-supported-hw is missing in DT). Assigning msm_gpu->pdev earlier seems like the least painful solution to this, therefore do so. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/602742/

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: avoid potential underflow in qdisc_pkt_len_init() with UFO After commit 7c6d2ecbda83 ("net: be more gentle about silly gso requests coming from user") virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() had sanity check to detect malicious attempts from user space to cook a bad GSO packet. Then commit cf9acc90c80ec ("net: virtio_net_hdr_to_skb: count transport header in UFO") while fixing one issue, allowed user space to cook a GSO packet with the following characteristic : IPv4 SKB_GSO_UDP, gso_size=3, skb->len = 28. When this packet arrives in qdisc_pkt_len_init(), we end up with hdr_len = 28 (IPv4 header + UDP header), matching skb->len Then the following sets gso_segs to 0 : gso_segs = DIV_ROUND_UP(skb->len - hdr_len, shinfo->gso_size); Then later we set qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len to back to zero :/ qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len += (gso_segs - 1) * hdr_len; This leads to the following crash in fq_codel [1] qdisc_pkt_len_init() is best effort, we only want an estimation of the bytes sent on the wire, not crashing the kernel. This patch is fixing this particular issue, a following one adds more sanity checks for another potential bug.

Then we continue the error path cleanup in btrfs_balance() by calling reset_balance_state() which will call del_balance_item() to fully delete the balance item in the root tree. However during the small window between set_reloc_contrl() and unset_reloc_control(), we can have a subvolume tree update and created a reloc_root for that subvolume. Then we go into the final btrfs_commit_transaction() of del_balance_item(), and into btrfs_update_reloc_root() inside commit_fs_roots(). That function checks if fs_info->reloc_ctl is in the merge_reloc_tree stage, but since fs_info->reloc_ctl is NULL, it results a NULL pointer dereference. [FIX] Just add extra check on fs_info->reloc_ctl inside btrfs_update_reloc_root(), before checking fs_info->reloc_ctl->merge_reloc_tree. That DEAD_RELOC_TREE handling is to prevent further modification to the reloc tree during merge stage, but since there is no reloc_ctl at all, we do not need to bother that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Handle null 'stream_status' in 'planes_changed_for_existing_stream' This commit adds a null check for 'stream_status' in the function 'planes_changed_for_existing_stream'. Previously, the code assumed 'stream_status' could be null, but did not handle the case where it was actually null. This could lead to a null pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: br_netfilter: fix panic with metadata_dst skb Fix a kernel panic in the br_netfilter module when sending untagged traffic via a VxLAN device. This happens during the check for fragmentation in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit. It is dependent on: 1) the br_netfilter module being loaded; 2) net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables set to 1; 3) a bridge with a VxLAN (single-vxlan-device) netdevice as a bridge port; 4) untagged frames with size higher than the VxLAN MTU forwarded/flooded When forwarding the untagged packet to the VxLAN bridge port, before the netfilter hooks are called, br_handle_egress_vlan_tunnel is called and changes the skb_dst to the tunnel dst. The tunnel_dst is a metadata type of dst, i.e., skb_valid_dst(skb) is false, and metadata->dst.dev is NULL. Then in the br_netfilter hooks, in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit, there's a check for frames that needs to be fragmented: frames with higher MTU than the VxLAN device end up calling br_nf_ip_fragment, which in turns call ip_skb_dst_mtu. The ip_dst_mtu tries to use the skb_dst(skb) as if it was a valid dst with valid dst->dev, thus the crash. This case was never supported in the first place, so drop the packet instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: adp5589-keys - fix NULL pointer dereference We register a devm action to call adp5589_clear_config() and then pass the i2c client as argument so that we can call i2c_get_clientdata() in order to get our device object. However, i2c_set_clientdata() is only being set at the end of the probe function which means that we'll get a NULL pointer dereference in case the probe function fails early.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Check stream before comparing them [WHAT & HOW] amdgpu_dm can pass a null stream to dc_is_stream_unchanged. It is necessary to check for null before dereferencing them. This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpftool: Fix undefined behavior in qsort(NULL, 0, ...) When netfilter has no entry to display, qsort is called with qsort(NULL, 0, ...). This results in undefined behavior, as UBSan reports: net.c:827:2: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1, which is declared to never be null Although the C standard does not explicitly state whether calling qsort with a NULL pointer when the size is 0 constitutes undefined behavior, Section 7.1.4 of the C standard (Use of library functions) mentions: "Each of the following statements applies unless explicitly stated otherwise in the detailed descriptions that follow: If an argument to a function has an invalid value (such as a value outside the domain of the function, or a pointer outside the address space of the program, or a null pointer, or a pointer to non-modifiable storage when the corresponding parameter is not const-qualified) or a type (after promotion) not expected by a function with variable number of arguments, the behavior is undefined." To avoid this, add an early return when nf_link_info is NULL to prevent calling qsort with a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeon_ep: Add SKB allocation failures handling in __octep_oq_process_rx() build_skb() returns NULL in case of a memory allocation failure so handle it inside __octep_oq_process_rx() to avoid NULL pointer dereference. __octep_oq_process_rx() is called during NAPI polling by the driver. If skb allocation fails, keep on pulling packets out of the Rx DMA queue: we shouldn't break the polling immediately and thus falsely indicate to the octep_napi_poll() that the Rx pressure is going down. As there is no associated skb in this case, don't process the packets and don't push them up the network stack - they are skipped. Helper function is implemented to unmmap/flush all the fragment buffers used by the dropped packet. 'alloc_failures' counter is incremented to mark the skb allocation error in driver statistics. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Don't call cleanup on profile rollback failure When profile rollback fails in mlx5e_netdev_change_profile, the netdev profile var is left set to NULL. Avoid a crash when unloading the driver by not calling profile->cleanup in such a case. This was encountered while testing, with the original trigger that the wq rescuer thread creation got interrupted (presumably due to Ctrl+C-ing modprobe), which gets converted to ENOMEM (-12) by mlx5e_priv_init, the profile rollback also fails for the same reason (signal still active) so the profile is left as NULL, leading to a crash later in _mlx5e_remove.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for clk_mgr in dcn32_init_hw This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the `dcn32_init_hw` function. The issue could occur when `dc->clk_mgr` is null. The fix adds a check to ensure `dc->clk_mgr` is not null before accessing its functions. This prevents a potential null pointer dereference. Reported by smatch: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn32/dcn32_hwseq.c:961 dcn32_init_hw() error: we previously assumed 'dc->clk_mgr' could be null (see line 782)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: correctly handle malformed BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL relos In case of malformed relocation record of kind BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL referencing a non-existing BTF type, function bpf_core_calc_relo_insn would cause a null pointer deference. Fix this by adding a proper check upper in call stack, as malformed relocation records could be passed from user space. Simplest reproducer is a program: r0 = 0 exit With a single relocation record: .insn_off = 0, /* patch first instruction */ .type_id = 100500, /* this type id does not exist */ .access_str_off = 6, /* offset of string "0" */ .kind = BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL, See the link for original reproducer or next commit for a test case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: gso: fix tcp fraglist segmentation after pull from frag_list Detect tcp gso fraglist skbs with corrupted geometry (see below) and pass these to skb_segment instead of skb_segment_list, as the first can segment them correctly. Valid SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST skbs - consist of two or more segments - the head_skb holds the protocol headers plus first gso_size - one or more frag_list skbs hold exactly one segment - all but the last must be gso_size Optional datapath hooks such as NAT and BPF (bpf_skb_pull_data) can modify these skbs, breaking these invariants. In extreme cases they pull all data into skb linear. For TCP, this causes a NULL ptr deref in __tcpv4_gso_segment_list_csum at tcp_hdr(seg->next). Detect invalid geometry due to pull, by checking head_skb size. Don't just drop, as this may blackhole a destination. Convert to be able to pass to regular skb_segment. Approach and description based on a patch by Willem de Bruijn.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add null check for 'afb' in amdgpu_dm_update_cursor (v2) This commit adds a null check for the 'afb' variable in the amdgpu_dm_update_cursor function. Previously, 'afb' was assumed to be null at line 8388, but was used later in the code without a null check. This could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference. Changes since v1: - Moved the null check for 'afb' to the line where 'afb' is used. (Alex) Fixes the below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c:8433 amdgpu_dm_update_cursor() error: we previously assumed 'afb' could be null (see line 8388)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: lpfc: Validate hdwq pointers before dereferencing in reset/errata paths When the HBA is undergoing a reset or is handling an errata event, NULL ptr dereference crashes may occur in routines such as lpfc_sli_flush_io_rings(), lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk(), or lpfc_abort_handler(). Add NULL ptr checks before dereferencing hdwq pointers that may have been freed due to operations colliding with a reset or errata event handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: qcom: sc7280: Fix missing Soundwire runtime stream alloc Commit 15c7fab0e047 ("ASoC: qcom: Move Soundwire runtime stream alloc to soundcards") moved the allocation of Soundwire stream runtime from the Qualcomm Soundwire driver to each individual machine sound card driver, except that it forgot to update SC7280 card. Just like for other Qualcomm sound cards using Soundwire, the card driver should allocate and release the runtime. Otherwise sound playback will result in a NULL pointer dereference or other effect of uninitialized memory accesses (which was confirmed on SDM845 having similar issue).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: fix lacks of icsk_syn_mss with IPPROTO_SMC Eric report a panic on IPPROTO_SMC, and give the facts that when INET_PROTOSW_ICSK was set, icsk->icsk_sync_mss must be set too.

(????????) ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- This patch add a toy implementation that performs a simple return to prevent such panic. This is because MSS can be set in sock_create_kern or smc_setsockopt, similar to how it's done in AF_SMC. However, for AF_SMC, there is currently no way to synchronize MSS within __sys_connect_file. This toy implementation lays the groundwork for us to support such feature for IPPROTO_SMC in the future.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: check discard support for conventional zones As the helper function f2fs_bdev_support_discard() shows, f2fs checks if the target block devices support discard by calling bdev_max_discard_sectors() and bdev_is_zoned(). This check works well for most cases, but it does not work for conventional zones on zoned block devices. F2fs assumes that zoned block devices support discard, and calls __submit_discard_cmd(). When __submit_discard_cmd() is called for sequential write required zones, it works fine since __submit_discard_cmd() issues zone reset commands instead of discard commands. However, when __submit_discard_cmd() is called for conventional zones, __blkdev_issue_discard() is called even when the devices do not support discard. The inappropriate __blkdev_issue_discard() call was not a problem before the commit 30f1e7241422 ("block: move discard checks into the ioctl handler") because __blkdev_issue_discard() checked if the target devices support discard or not. If not, it returned EOPNOTSUPP. After the commit, __blkdev_issue_discard() no longer checks it. It always returns zero and sets NULL to the given bio pointer. This NULL pointer triggers f2fs_bug_on() in __submit_discard_cmd(). The BUG is recreated with the commands below at the umount step, where /dev/nullb0 is a zoned null_blk with 5GB total size, 128MB zone size and 10 conventional zones. $ mkfs.f2fs -f -m /dev/nullb0 $ mount /dev/nullb0 /mnt $ for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=65536 count=1600 conv=fsync; done $ umount /mnt To fix the BUG, avoid the inappropriate __blkdev_issue_discard() call. When discard is requested for conventional zones, check if the device supports discard or not. If not, return EOPNOTSUPP.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix potential null-ptr-deref in nilfs_btree_insert() Patch series "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes". This series addresses three potential issues with empty b-tree nodes that can occur with corrupted filesystem images, including one recently discovered by syzbot. This patch (of 3): If a b-tree is broken on the device, and the b-tree height is greater than 2 (the level of the root node is greater than 1) even if the number of child nodes of the b-tree root is 0, a NULL pointer dereference occurs in nilfs_btree_prepare_insert(), which is called from nilfs_btree_insert(). This is because, when the number of child nodes of the b-tree root is 0, nilfs_btree_do_lookup() does not set the block buffer head in any of path[x].bp_bh, leaving it as the initial value of NULL, but if the level of the b-tree root node is greater than 1, nilfs_btree_get_nonroot_node(), which accesses the buffer memory of path[x].bp_bh, is called. Fix this issue by adding a check to nilfs_btree_root_broken(), which performs sanity checks when reading the root node from the device, to detect this inconsistency. Thanks to Lizhi Xu for trying to solve the bug and clarifying the cause early on.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netkit: Assign missing bpf_net_context During the introduction of struct bpf_net_context handling for XDP-redirect, the netkit driver has been missed, which also requires it because NETKIT_REDIRECT invokes skb_do_redirect() which is accessing the per-CPU variables. Otherwise we see the following crash: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038 bpf_redirect() netkit_xmit() dev_hard_start_xmit() Set the bpf_net_context before invoking netkit_xmit() program within the netkit driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/cxgb4: Added NULL check for lookup_atid The lookup_atid() function can return NULL if the ATID is invalid or does not exist in the identifier table, which could lead to dereferencing a null pointer without a check in the `act_establish()` and `act_open_rpl()` functions. Add a NULL check to prevent null pointer dereferencing. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: mediatek: vcodec: Fix H264 stateless decoder smatch warning Fix a smatch static checker warning on vdec_h264_req_if.c. Which leads to a kernel crash when fb is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in node allocations") leads a NULL pointer deference in cache_set_flush(). 1721 if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c->root)) 1722 list_add(&c->root->list, &c->btree_cache); >From the above code in cache_set_flush(), if previous registration code fails before allocating c->root, it is possible c->root is NULL as what it is initialized. __bch_btree_node_alloc() never returns NULL but c->root is possible to be NULL at above line 1721. This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: fix potential invalid pointer dereference in blk_add_partition The blk_add_partition() function initially used a single if-condition (IS_ERR(part)) to check for errors when adding a partition. This was modified to handle the specific case of -ENXIO separately, allowing the function to proceed without logging the error in this case. However, this change unintentionally left a path where md_autodetect_dev() could be called without confirming that part is a valid pointer. This commit separates the error handling logic by splitting the initial if-condition, improving code readability and handling specific error scenarios explicitly. The function now distinguishes the general error case from -ENXIO without altering the existing behavior of md_autodetect_dev() calls.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: keystone: Fix if-statement expression in ks_pcie_quirk() This code accidentally uses && where || was intended. It potentially results in a NULL dereference. Thus, fix the if-statement expression to use the correct condition. [kwilczynski: commit log]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wilc1000: fix potential RCU dereference issue in wilc_parse_join_bss_param In the `wilc_parse_join_bss_param` function, the TSF field of the `ies` structure is accessed after the RCU read-side critical section is unlocked. According to RCU usage rules, this is illegal. Reusing this pointer can lead to unpredictable behavior, including accessing memory that has been updated or causing use-after-free issues. This possible bug was identified using a static analysis tool developed by myself, specifically designed to detect RCU-related issues. To address this, the TSF value is now stored in a local variable `ies_tsf` before the RCU lock is released. The `param->tsf_lo` field is then assigned using this local variable, ensuring that the TSF value is safely accessed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Add null check for set_output_gamma in dcn30_set_output_transfer_func This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer in the dcn30_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously, set_output_gamma was being checked for nullity at line 386, but then it was being dereferenced without any nullity check at line 401. This could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if set_output_gamma is indeed null. To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before dereferencing it. We do this by adding a nullity check for set_output_gamma before the call to set_output_gamma at line 401. If set_output_gamma is null, we log an error message and do not call the function. This fix prevents a potential null pointer dereference error. drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c:401 dcn30_set_output_transfer_func() error: we previously assumed 'mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma' could be null (see line 386) drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c 373 bool dcn30_set_output_transfer_func(struct dc *dc, 374 struct pipe_ctx *pipe_ctx, 375 const struct dc_stream_state *stream) 376 { 377 int mpcc_id = pipe_ctx->plane_res.hubp->inst; 378 struct mpc *mpc = pipe_ctx->stream_res.opp->ctx->dc->res_pool->mpc; 379 const struct pwl_params *params = NULL; 380 bool ret = false; 381 382 /* program OGAM or 3DLUT only for the top pipe*/ 383 if (pipe_ctx->top_pipe == NULL) { 384 /*program rmu shaper and 3dlut in MPC*/ 385 ret = dcn30_set_mpc_shaper_3dlut(pipe_ctx, stream); 386 if (ret == false && mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If this is NULL 387 if (stream->out_transfer_func.type == TF_TYPE_HWPWL) 388 params = &stream->out_transfer_func.pwl; 389 else if (pipe_ctx->stream->out_transfer_func.type == 390 TF_TYPE_DISTRIBUTED_POINTS && 391 cm3_helper_translate_curve_to_hw_format( 392 &stream->out_transfer_func, 393 &mpc->blender_params, false)) 394 params = &mpc->blender_params; 395 /* there are no ROM LUTs in OUTGAM */ 396 if (stream->out_transfer_func.type == TF_TYPE_PREDEFINED) 397 BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER(); 398 } 399 } 400 --> 401 mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma(mpc, mpcc_id, params); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Then it will crash 402 return ret; 403 }

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Check link_res->hpo_dp_link_enc before using it [WHAT & HOW] Functions dp_enable_link_phy and dp_disable_link_phy can pass link_res without initializing hpo_dp_link_enc and it is necessary to check for null before dereferencing. This fixes 2 FORWARD_NULL issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: mediatek: vcodec: Fix VP8 stateless decoder smatch warning Fix a smatch static checker warning on vdec_vp8_req_if.c. Which leads to a kernel crash when fb is NULL.

To address the above issue, simplify the kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() to not zero-out PMU snapshot area from kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() because the guest is anyway being tore down. The kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() is also called when guest changes PMU snapshot area of a VCPU but even in this case the previous PMU snaphsot area must not be zeroed-out because the guest might have reclaimed the pervious PMU snapshot area for some other purpose.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KEYS: prevent NULL pointer dereference in find_asymmetric_key() In find_asymmetric_key(), if all NULLs are passed in the id_{0,1,2} arguments, the kernel will first emit WARN but then have an oops because id_2 gets dereferenced anyway. Add the missing id_2 check and move WARN_ON() to the final else branch to avoid duplicate NULL checks. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace static analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: mediatek: vcodec: Fix H264 multi stateless decoder smatch warning Fix a smatch static checker warning on vdec_h264_req_multi_if.c. Which leads to a kernel crash when fb is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: check return value of ieee80211_probereq_get() for RNR The return value of ieee80211_probereq_get() might be NULL, so check it before using to avoid NULL pointer access. Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1529805 ("Dereference null return value")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pci/hotplug/pnv_php: Fix hotplug driver crash on Powernv The hotplug driver for powerpc (pci/hotplug/pnv_php.c) causes a kernel crash when we try to hot-unplug/disable the PCIe switch/bridge from the PHB. The crash occurs because although the MSI data structure has been released during disable/hot-unplug path and it has been assigned with NULL, still during unregistration the code was again trying to explicitly disable the MSI which causes the NULL pointer dereference and kernel crash. The patch fixes the check during unregistration path to prevent invoking pci_disable_msi/msix() since its data structure is already freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uio_hv_generic: Fix kernel NULL pointer dereference in hv_uio_rescind For primary VM Bus channels, primary_channel pointer is always NULL. This pointer is valid only for the secondary channels. Also, rescind callback is meant for primary channels only. Fix NULL pointer dereference by retrieving the device_obj from the parent for the primary channel.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb/server: fix potential null-ptr-deref of lease_ctx_info in smb2_open() null-ptr-deref will occur when (req_op_level == SMB2_OPLOCK_LEVEL_LEASE) and parse_lease_state() return NULL. Fix this by check if 'lease_ctx_info' is NULL. Additionally, remove the redundant parentheses in parse_durable_handle_context().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ublk_drv: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery() When two UBLK_CMD_START_USER_RECOVERY commands are submitted, the first one sets 'ubq->ubq_daemon' to NULL, and the second one triggers WARN in ublk_queue_reinit() and subsequently a NULL pointer dereference issue. Fix it by adding the check in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery() and return immediately in case of zero 'ub->nr_queues_ready'.
