Without\nan explicit wake at close, parked threads never observe\nXPT_CLOSE, hold their svc_xprt_get reference forever, and\nsvc_rdma_free() blocks on xpt_ref dropping to zero.\n\nTwo close entry points reach this transport. Local teardown runs\nsvc_rdma_detach() from svc_handle_xprt() -> svc_delete_xprt() ->\nxpo_detach() on a worker thread. A remote disconnect arrives at\nsvc_rdma_cma_handler(), which calls svc_xprt_deferred_close():\nthat sets XPT_CLOSE and enqueues the transport but does not\naccess either RDMA waitqueue, so a worker already parked in\nsvc_rdma_sq_wait() never re-evaluates its predicate. With every\nworker parked on this transport, no thread is available to run\nthe local teardown either, and the wake site there is\nunreachable.\n\nIntroduce svc_rdma_xprt_deferred_close(), a thin svcrdma wrapper\nthat calls svc_xprt_deferred_close() and then wakes both\nsc_sq_ticket_wait and sc_send_wait. Convert the svcrdma producers\nthat called svc_xprt_deferred_close() directly:\nsvc_rdma_cma_handler(), qp_event_handler(),\nsvc_rdma_post_send_err(), svc_rdma_wc_send(), the sendto drop\npath, the rw completion error paths, and the recvfrom flush and\nread-list error paths.\n\nWake both waitqueues from svc_rdma_detach() as well. The\nsynchronous svc_xprt_close() path (backchannel ENOTCONN, device\nremoval via svc_rdma_xprt_done) reaches detach without flowing\nthrough svc_xprt_deferred_close() and therefore does not invoke\nthe new helper.\n\n[ cel: add svc_rdma_xprt_deferred_close() to complete the fix ]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/40eedc4253dbda0b29b7961200534dfcecb48ace","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e5248a7426030db1e126363f72afdb3b71339a5c"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:46:40.600842820+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64281","score":0.00488,"percentile":0.4202,"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).
