CVE-2026-43469

Summary

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

xprtrdma: Decrement re_receiving on the early exit paths

In the event that rpcrdma_post_recvs() fails to create a work request (due to memory allocation failure, say) or otherwise exits early, we should decrement ep->re_receiving before returning. Otherwise we will hang in rpcrdma_xprt_drain() as re_receiving will never reach zero and the completion will never be triggered.

On a system with high memory pressure, this can appear as the following hung task:

INFO: task kworker/u385:17:8393 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
      Tainted: G S          E       6.19.0 #3
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
task:kworker/u385:17 state:D stack:0     pid:8393  tgid:8393  ppid:2      task_flags:0x4248060 flags:0x00080000
