In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Reserve extra CQ slot for the fence completion CQE
The RX completion queue is sized to hold exactly one CQE per posted RX WQE.
MANA_FENCE_RQ makes hardware post an additional CQE_RX_OBJECT_FENCE after
the packet CQEs. The current sizing reserves no extra slot for it and in
rare cases, CQ has no guaranteed slot for the fence CQE when it is full of
packet CQEs. This can lead to dropping the fence completion while the
driver waits holding RTNL lock throughout the timeout duration.
Reserve one extra CQE slot for CQE_RX_OBJECT_FENCE. mana_gd_alloc_memory()
requires queue_size to be a power-of-two and at least MANA_PAGE_SIZE;
the reservation pushes cq_size past a power-of-two, so round up the CQ size
in mana_create_rxq().
