(Resending to the list as the maintainer is not responding to direct email)
From: Alan Cox <a...@linux.intel.com>
The mtip driver lifted this code from elsewhere and then added a special
handling check for SEC_ERASE_UNIT. If the caller tries to do a security
erase but passes no output data for the command then outbuf is not
allocated and the driver duly explodes.
