Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR XLT cleanup on ODP populate failure<br />
<br />
mlx5r_umr_update_xlt() allocates and DMA maps an XLT buffer with<br />
mlx5r_umr_create_xlt(). The buffer is released by the common cleanup path<br />
through mlx5r_umr_unmap_free_xlt().<br />
<br />
After mlx5_odp_populate_xlt() became fallible, its error path returned<br />
directly and skipped that cleanup. This leaks the XLT DMA mapping and<br />
buffer. If the emergency XLT page was used, it also leaves<br />
xlt_emergency_page_mutex locked.<br />
<br />
Break out of the loop so execution falls through the existing cleanup path.
