CVE-2026-92512

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

RDMA/core: Fix use after free in ib_query_qp()

When querying a QP via the netlink flow the only synchronization mechanism for the said QP is rdma_restrack_get(), meanwhile during the QP destroy path rdma_restrack_del() is called at the end of the ib_destroy_qp_user() function which is too late, since by then the vendor specific resources for said QP would already be destroyed, and till the rdma_restrack_del() is called this QP can still be accessed, which could cause the use after free below.

Fix this by moving the rdma_restrack_begin_del() to the start of the ib_destroy_qp_user(), which in turn waits for all usages of the QP to be done then removes it from the database to prevent access to it while it is being destroyed.
