Race Condition Affecting python3-perf package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-perf package and not the python3-perf package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/mlx5: Fix a race for an ODP MR which leads to CQE with error

This patch addresses a race condition for an ODP MR that can result in a CQE with an error on the UMR QP.

During the __mlx5_ib_dereg_mr() flow, the following sequence of calls occurs:

mlx5_revoke_mr() mlx5r_umr_revoke_mr() mlx5r_umr_post_send_wait()

At this point, the lkey is freed from the hardware's perspective.

However, concurrently, mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() might be triggered by another task attempting to invalidate a range for the same freed lkey.

This task will:

• Acquire the umem_odp->umem_mutex lock.
• Call mlx5r_umr_update_xlt() on the UMR QP.
• Since the lkey has already been freed, this can lead to a CQE error, causing the UMR QP to enter an error state [1].

To resolve this race condition, the umem_odp->umem_mutex lock is now also acquired as part of the mlx5_revoke_mr() scope. Upon successful revoke, we set umem_odp->private which points to that MR to NULL, preventing any further invalidation attempts on its lkey.
