DescriptionNVD

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

RDMA/mlx5: Fix implicit ODP hang on parent deregistration

Fix the destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr() to prevent hanging during parent deregistration as of below [1].

Upon entering destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr(), the reference count for the implicit MR parent is incremented using: refcount_inc_not_zero().

A corresponding decrement must be performed if free_implicit_child_mr_work() is not called.

The code has been updated to properly manage the reference count that was incremented.
