This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled IB/mlx5: Fix init stage error handling to avoid double free of same QP and UAF to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ib-mlx5-fix-init-stage-error-handling-to-avoid-doubl.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f97b407f5f11c3e82e2307837dca27649dc2b6fb Author: George Kennedy <george.kennedy@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 24 13:01:58 2023 -0500 IB/mlx5: Fix init stage error handling to avoid double free of same QP and UAF [ Upstream commit 2ef422f063b74adcc4a4a9004b0a87bb55e0a836 ] In the unlikely event that workqueue allocation fails and returns NULL in mlx5_mkey_cache_init(), delete the call to mlx5r_umr_resource_cleanup() (which frees the QP) in mlx5_ib_stage_post_ib_reg_umr_init(). This will avoid attempted double free of the same QP when __mlx5_ib_add() does its cleanup.
