- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Fix deadlock during netdev
reset with active connections Resolve deadlock that occurs when user executes netdev reset while RDMA
applications (e.g., rping) are active. The netdev reset causes ice driver to remove irdma auxiliary
driver, triggering device_delete and subsequent client removal. During client removal, uverbs_client waits
for QP reference count to reach zero while cma_client holds the final reference, creating circular
dependency and indefinite wait in iWARP mode. Skip QP reference count wait during device reset to prevent
deadlock. (CVE-2026-31565)
