Vulnerability Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvmet-rdma: fix response resource leak on queue teardown

When an nvme target with rdma transport is removed while I/Os are in
flight, a response can be posted but its send completion is never
delivered before the connection is torn down. As a result
nvmet_rdma_send_done() and nvmet_rdma_release_rsp() are never called for
the response, and this leaks the allocated RDMA read/write context and
request SGLs.

These leaks are recreated by running blktests nvme/061 with the rdma
transport and the siw driver. Kernel kmemleak feature reports them as
follows:

To avoid the memory leaks, reclaim the memory of the in-flight responses
when the queue QP is torn down. Call nvmet_rdma_free_rsp_resources()
that frees up the RDMA read/write context and the request SGLs of such
responses.
