[ Upstream commit 21681b81b9 ]
During the sysfs firmware write process, a use-after-free read warning is
logged from the lpfc_wr_object() routine:
BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in lpfc_wr_object+0x235/0x310 [lpfc]
Use-after-free read at 0x0000000000cf164d (in kfence-#111):

The driver accessed wr_object pointer data, which was initialized into
mailbox payload memory, after the mailbox object was released back to the
mailbox pool.
Fix by moving the mailbox free calls to the end of the routine ensuring
that we don't reference internal mailbox memory after release.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
