Description

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

RDMA/mlx5: Fix unsafe xarray access in implicit ODP handling

__xa_store() and __xa_erase() were used without holding the proper lock,
which led to a lockdep warning due to unsafe RCU usage. This patch
replaces them with xa_store() and xa_erase(), which perform the necessary
locking internally.

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCPU usage

-----------------------------
./include/linux/xarray.h:1211 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:
