Linux Kernel IB/RDMAVT Race Condition Vulnerability in rvt_error_qp Function

Vulnerability

A race condition vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's IB/rdmavt component. The issue arises because a call to the rvt_error_qp function is made without holding the required locks, r_lock and s_lock. This oversight, introduced by a previous commit, not only causes a lock dependency assertion failure but also creates a potential race condition.

Impact

The vulnerability can lead to a race condition, where the timing of events can be manipulated, potentially causing unexpected behavior in the application or system.
