Summary

In the Linux kernel, the lpfc_rcv_padisc() function has a possible memory leak. The call to lpfc_sli4_resume_rpi() may return an unsuccessful status, in which case the elsiocb is not released, leading to a resource leak.

Risk Assessment

A memory leak can lead to gradual exhaustion of system resources and eventually to system instability or failure.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
