SUSE: CVE-2025-21888: SUSE Linux Security Advisory

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

RDMA/mlx5: Fix a WARN during dereg_mr for DM type

Memory regions (MR) of type DM (device memory) do not have an associated
umem.

In the __mlx5_ib_dereg_mr() -> mlx5_free_priv_descs() flow, the code
incorrectly takes the wrong branch, attempting to call
dma_unmap_single() on a DMA address that is not mapped.

This results in a WARN [1], as shown below.

The issue is resolved by properly accounting for the DM type and
ensuring the correct branch is selected in mlx5_free_priv_descs().
