Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's erdma (Elastic Remote Direct Memory Access) driver. A local user could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) through a system deadlock during concurrent queue creation and hardware interrupt handling. Because internal queue updates do not use interrupt-safe locking, an incoming interrupt attempting to look up queue resources can spin indefinitely waiting for an already-held lock, leading to a system hang.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-06 09:24:37 UTC

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

RDMA/erdma: Use IRQ-safe XArray helpers for QP and CQ tables

Locked QP and CQ lookups from EQ interrupts can deadlock with
create-path XArray updates. If an interrupt arrives while the create
path holds the plain xa_lock, the lookup spins forever trying to
acquire the same lock.

Use IRQ-safe XArray helpers for all QP and CQ create-path updates,
including the GSI QP store and error paths. Initialize both arrays with
XA_FLAGS_LOCK_IRQ so sleeping allocations preserve interrupt state.
