Subject: [PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Fix ndlp reference leak in lpfc_release_rpi()
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 14:47:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917144758.2157707-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

lpfc_release_rpi() only drops the node reference and frees the mailbox
memory it took when lpfc_sli_issue_mbox() returns MBX_NOT_FINISHED.  The
SLI-4 issue path can also return -EIO without submitting the command, in
which case the completion handler never runs and both are leaked.

Clean up whenever the command was not handed to the port.

Fixes: 4430f7fd09ec ("scsi: lpfc: Rework locations of ndlp reference taking")
