Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net/mlx5: Update error handler for UCTX and UMEM<br />
<br />
In the fast unload flow, the device state is set to internal error,<br />
which indicates that the driver started the destroy process.<br />
In this case, when a destroy command is being executed, it should return<br />
MLX5_CMD_STAT_OK.<br />
Fix MLX5_CMD_OP_DESTROY_UCTX and MLX5_CMD_OP_DESTROY_UMEM to return OK<br />
instead of EIO.<br />
<br />
This fixes a call trace in the umem release process -<br />
