NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by RHEL.

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

RDMA/rxe: Fix the error "trying to register non-static key in rxe_cleanup_task"

In the function rxe_create_qp(), rxe_qp_from_init() is called to initialize qp, internally things like rxe_init_task are not setup until rxe_qp_init_req().

If an error occurred before this point then the unwind will call rxe_cleanup() and eventually to rxe_qp_do_cleanup()/rxe_cleanup_task() which will oops when trying to access the uninitialized spinlock.

If rxe_init_task is not executed, rxe_cleanup_task will not be called.
