1-Comparing the code that fixes the patch, particularly the file /drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_qp.c vs kernel-4.18.0.425.3.1

The kernel-4.18.0.425.3.1  includes the patched lines.

--------------------

Based on the above, I can confirm that the kernel4.18.0-425.3.1 code has been patched, however I see that this was fixed in RHEL 8.7.

Was this fixed in kernel4.18.0-425.3.1 or RHEL 8.7?
