Summary

In the Linux kernel RDMA/erdma subsystem, IRQ-safe XArray helpers are now used for QP and CQ tables. Previously, operations from EQ interrupts could deadlock with create-path updates when an interrupt arrived while holding the plain xa_lock.

Risk Assessment

A kernel deadlock could lead to system hang or crash, especially under heavy RDMA traffic.

Recommendation

Install the latest Linux kernel patch containing this fix. Monitor the system for deadlocks in the RDMA subsystem.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
