nvmet-rdma: fix queue leak when connect backlog is exceeded
When pending disconnecting queues exceed the backlog limit, the connect path only drops the device reference and leaks the newly allocated queue and its IB resources.
Affected Software
Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
When can this leak be triggered?
It occurs when pending disconnecting queues exceed the configured connection backlog limit and a new RDMA connect request follows that condition.
What resources are leaked?
The newly allocated queue and its InfiniBand resources are leaked. The connect path drops only the device reference in the affected error path.
Are systems without NVMe-over-RDMA exposure affected?
The described flaw is in the nvmet-rdma connect path, so exposure requires use of that path. The provided information does not establish impact for other Linux kernel configurations.
