Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix warning in poll cq direct mode CQs allocated by ib_alloc_cq() always have a comp_handler.
Though in direct mode this handler is never expected to be called, it is still called when the driver is reset, triggering the following WARN_ONCE(): Call trace: ib_cq_completion_direct+0x38/0x60 hns_roce_cq_completion+0x54/0x90 (hns_roce_hw_v2] hns_roce_handle_device_err+Ox1c8/0x340 [hns_roce_hw_v2] hns_roce_hw_v2_uninit_instance.constprop.0+0x34/0x70 [hns_roce_hw_v2] hns_roce_hw_v2_reset_notify+0xc4/0xe0 [hns_roce_hw_v2] hclge_notify_roce_client+0x60/0xbc [hclge] hclge_reset_rebuild+0x48/0x34c [hclge] hclge_reset_subtask+0xcc/0xec [hclge] hclge_reset_service_task+0x80/0x160 [hclge] hclge_service_task+0x50/0x80 (hclge] process_one_work+0x1cc/0x4d0 worker_thread+0x154/0x414 kthread+0x104/0x144 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) HNS driver.
When the driver undergoes a reset, a completion queue handler is unexpectedly called, even though it is not intended to be active in its current operating mode. This incorrect invocation leads to the system issuing a kernel warning, which could indicate unexpected behavior or potential instability.
Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-663.
