Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) HNS driver. When the driver undergoes a reset, a completion queue handler is unexpectedly called, even though it is not intended to be active in its current operating mode. This incorrect invocation leads to the system issuing a kernel warning, which could indicate unexpected behavior or potential instability.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-28 07:43:23 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/hns: Fix warning in poll cq direct mode

CQs allocated by ib_alloc_cq() always have a comp_handler. Though
in direct mode this handler is never expected to be called, it
is still called when the driver is reset, triggering the following
WARN_ONCE():
