Fix this by capping\nthe MSIX vectors to num_online_cpus() + 1.\n\n WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 23655 at include/linux/cpumask.h:106 irdma_cfg_ceq_vector+0x34c/0x3f0 [irdma]\n RIP: 0010:irdma_cfg_ceq_vector+0x34c/0x3f0 [irdma]\n Call Trace:\n irdma_rt_init_hw+0xa62/0x1290 [irdma]\n ? irdma_alloc_local_mac_entry+0x1a0/0x1a0 [irdma]\n ? __is_kernel_percpu_address+0x63/0x310\n ? rcu_read_lock_held_common+0xe/0xb0\n ? irdma_lan_unregister_qset+0x280/0x280 [irdma]\n ? irdma_request_reset+0x80/0x80 [irdma]\n ? ice_get_qos_params+0x84/0x390 [ice]\n irdma_probe+0xa40/0xfc0 [irdma]\n ? rcu_read_lock_bh_held+0xd0/0xd0\n ? irdma_remove+0x140/0x140 [irdma]\n ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x62/0xe0\n ? down_write+0x187/0x3d0\n ? auxiliary_match_id+0xf0/0x1a0\n ? irdma_remove+0x140/0x140 [irdma]\n auxiliary_bus_probe+0xa6/0x100\n __driver_probe_device+0x4a4/0xd50\n ? __device_attach_driver+0x2c0/0x2c0\n driver_probe_device+0x4a/0x110\n __driver_attach+0x1aa/0x350\n bus_for_each_dev+0x11d/0x1b0\n ? subsys_dev_iter_init+0xe0/0xe0\n bus_add_driver+0x3b1/0x610\n driver_register+0x18e/0x410\n ? 0xffffffffc0b88000\n irdma_init_module+0x50/0xaa [irdma]\n do_one_initcall+0x103/0x5f0\n ? perf_trace_initcall_level+0x420/0x420\n ? do_init_module+0x4e/0x700\n ? __kasan_kmalloc+0x7d/0xa0\n ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x188/0x2b0\n ? kasan_unpoison+0x21/0x50\n do_init_module+0x1d1/0x700\n load_module+0x3867/0x5260\n ? layout_and_allocate+0x3990/0x3990\n ? rcu_read_lock_held_common+0xe/0xb0\n ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x62/0xe0\n ? rcu_read_lock_bh_held+0xd0/0xd0\n ? __vmalloc_node_range+0x46b/0x890\n ? lock_release+0x5c8/0xba0\n ? alloc_vm_area+0x120/0x120\n ? selinux_kernel_module_from_file+0x2a5/0x300\n ? __inode_security_revalidate+0xf0/0xf0\n ? __do_sys_init_module+0x1db/0x260\n __do_sys_init_module+0x1db/0x260\n ? load_module+0x5260/0x5260\n ? do_syscall_64+0x22/0x450\n do_syscall_64+0xa5/0x450\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x66/0xdb","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/209e4aa9a7b636d8aaa1297e1d089ee2ed91d73f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/87674a359ad173a3b8cd484e92e4f1901666da4c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9cd9842c46996ef62173c36619c746f57416bcb0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b3bd44bf20cb3a6a47aa4373e1817147efb4be04"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:16:40.427100871+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-53811","score":0.00186,"percentile":0.08196,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
