Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 21:26:06 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/ionic: Embed counter driver data in rdma_counter allocation

Commit 7e53b31acc7f ("RDMA/core: Create and destroy rdma_counter using
rdma_zalloc_drv_obj()") requires drivers implementing counter ops to
embed struct rdma_counter in a driver-specific struct, register its size
via INIT_RDMA_OBJ_SIZE, and provide a counter_init callback.

The ionic driver was merged without this adaptation, causing a NULL
pointer dereference in alloc_and_bind() since rdma_zalloc_drv_obj()
allocates zero bytes when size_rdma_counter is unset.

Consolidate struct ionic_counter into a new struct ionic_rdma_counter
that embeds struct rdma_counter, replace the xarray with a lightweight
ida for ID allocation, and add the required counter_init and
INIT_RDMA_OBJ_SIZE declarations.
