RDMA: During rereg_mr ensure that REREG_ACCESS is compatible
CVE-2026-52908
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA: During rereg_mr ensure that REREG_ACCESS is compatible
If IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS changes from RO to RW then the umem has to be re-evaluated to ensure it is properly pinned as RW. Since the umem is hidden inside each driver's mr struct add a ib_umem_check_rereg() function that each driver has to call before processing IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS.
mlx4 has to retain its duplicate ib_access_writable check because it implements IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS | IB_MR_REREG_TRANS by changing both items in place sequentially while the MR is live, so it will continue to not support this combination.
