Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-03-27 16:01:50 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/mlx5: Fix implicit ODP hang on parent deregistration

Fix the destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr() to prevent hanging during
parent deregistration as of below [1].

Upon entering destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr(), the reference count
for the implicit MR parent is incremented using:
refcount_inc_not_zero().

A corresponding decrement must be performed if
free_implicit_child_mr_work() is not called.

The code has been updated to properly manage the reference count that
was incremented.
