AI-suggested

A fix is available that ensures waiting for all RCU callbacks before unloading the ib_core module. Users should apply the updated Linux kernel versions that include this fix. Since this is a kernel-level issue, upgrading to patched kernel versions is the recommended remediation.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's RDMA core was resolved involving improper handling of RCU callbacks during module unloading. The function put_gid_ndev() is queued with call_rcu(), but stopping workqueues does not drain already queued callbacks, allowing RCU to invoke callbacks after the module code has been unloaded. The fix involves waiting for all RCU callbacks after all producers have stopped to prevent use-after-free conditions.
