Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 16:41:08 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/erdma: Hold CQ references when processing EQ events

EQ handlers look up CQs from dev->cq_xa and invoke CQ completion or
error callbacks outside the xarray lock. erdma_destroy_cq() can erase the
CQ from the xarray and free its queue buffer and doorbell record while a
previously scheduled EQ handler is still using the CQ.

Add a CQ refcount and take a reference under the xarray lock with
refcount_inc_not_zero(). Remove the CQ from the xarray before dropping
the destroy-path reference, then wait for in-flight EQ users before
releasing CQ resources.
