CVE-2026-92511

/// Technical description

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

RDMA/core: Fix potential use after free in ib_destroy_cq_user()

When accessing a CQ via the netlink path the only synchronization

mechanism for the said CQ is rdma_restrack_get().

Currently, rdma_restrack_del() is invoked at the end of

ib_destroy_cq_user(), which is too late, since by that point

vendor-specific resources associated with the CQ might already be

freed. This can leave a short window where the CQ remains accessible

through restrack, leading to a potential use-after-free.

Fix this by moving the rdma_restrack_begin_del() call to the start of

ib_destroy_cq_user(), ensuring that the CQ is removed from restrack

before its internal resources are released. This guarantees that no new

users hold references to a CQ that is in the process of destruction.

In addition, this change preserves the intended inverted order

between create and destroy routines: resources are added to

restrack at the end of successful cre
