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

RDMA/mlx5: Fix implicit ODP hang on parent deregistration

Fix the destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr() to prevent hanging during

parent deregistration as of below [1].

Upon entering destroy_unused_implicit_child_mr(), the reference count

for the implicit MR parent is incremented using:

refcount_inc_not_zero().

A corresponding decrement must be performed if

free_implicit_child_mr_work() is not called.

The code has been updated to properly manage the reference count that

was incremented.

Not tainted 6.12.0-rc7+ #1633

"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
