Subject: [PATCH rdma-next] RDMA/irdma: Prevent user-triggered null deref on QP create
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:40:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617164013.280790-1-jmoroni@google.com> (raw)

Previously, the user QP creation path would only attempt to
populate iwqp->iwpbl if the user-provided req.user_wqe_bufs
field was non-zero. The problem is that iwqp->iwpbl is
unconditionally dereferenced later on in irdma_setup_virt_qp.

While there was a check for iwqp->iwpbl != NULL, this check
would only occur if req.user_wqe_bufs was non-zero. The end
result is that a user could send a zero user_wqe_bufs value
and trigger a null ptr deref.

Fix this by unconditionally calling irdma_get_pbl and bailing
if it fails, similar to the CQ and SRQ paths.

Fixes: b48c24c2d710 ("RDMA/irdma: Implement device supported verb APIs")
