Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/core: fix refcount bug in iwpm_get_nlmsg_request()
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 14:22:13 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902085213.145312-1-jeffinphilip14@gmail.com> (raw)
iwpm_get_nlmsg_request() initializes refcount _after_ list_add_tail()
making it accessible to global list where another CPU can kref_get()
on nlmsg_request causing a refcount "addition on 0" bug. Fix this
by initializing kref _before_ list_add_tail() so refcount for
nlmsg_request can be incremented/decremented normally.
Reported-by: syzbot+bd317784d628820741b5@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=bd317784d628820741b5
Fixes: 30dc5e63d6a5 ("RDMA/core: Add support for iWARP Port Mapper user space service")
