Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RDMA/siw component. The `siw_create_qp()` function prematurely publishes a Queue Pair (QP) before its complete initialization. This allows a Queue Pair Number (QPN) lookup to access a QP that is still under construction, potentially leading to unexpected behavior or system instability.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-10 12:25:25 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/siw: publish QP after initialization

siw_create_qp() currently calls siw_qp_add() before the queues, CQ
pointers, state, completion, and device list entry are ready. A QPN
lookup can therefore reach a QP that is still being constructed.

Move siw_qp_add() to the end of siw_create_qp(), after QP
initialization and before adding the QP to the siw device list.
