Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: nullify cq->dbg pointer in mlx5_debug_cq_remove()
Prior to this patch in case mlx5_core_destroy_cq() failed it proceeds
to rest of destroy operations. mlx5_core_destroy_cq() could be called again
by user and cause additional call of mlx5_debug_cq_remove().
cq->dbg was not nullify in previous call and cause the crash.
Fix it by nullify cq->dbg pointer after removal.
Also proceed to destroy operations only if FW return 0
for MLX5_CMD_OP_DESTROY_CQ command.
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x2000300004058: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
