DescriptionNVD

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

vdpa/mlx5: Fix invalid mr resource destroy

Certain error paths from mlx5_vdpa_dev_add() can end up releasing mr resources which never got initialized in the first place.

This patch adds the missing check in mlx5_vdpa_destroy_mr_resources() to block releasing non-initialized mr resources.
