Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the `mana` network driver of the Linux kernel. When creating a General DMA (GDMA) queue, the `queue->id` may not be properly initialized. If the queue creation fails before a valid ID is assigned, a subsequent cleanup operation can incorrectly use a zero ID, potentially corrupting the Completion Queue (CQ) table. This could lead to system instability or a denial of service.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:35:03 UTC

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

net: mana: initialize gdma queue id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID

mana_gd_create_mana_wq_cq() leaves queue->id as 0 (from kzalloc_obj())
until mana_create_wq_obj() assigns the firmware-returned id. If creation
fails before that, cleanup calls mana_gd_destroy_cq() with id 0, NULLing
gc->cq_table[0] and silently breaking whichever real CQ owns that slot.

Initialize queue->id to INVALID_QUEUE_ID right after allocation, matching
mana_gd_create_eq(). The existing (id >= max_num_cqs) guard then
short-circuits cleanly.
