Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix variable not being completed when function returns
When cmd_alloc_index(), fails cmd_work_handler() needs
to complete ent->slotted before returning early.
Otherwise the task which issued the command may hang:
