In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cma: Fix listener leak in rdma_cma_listen_on_all() failure
If cma_listen_on_all() fails it leaves the per-device ID still on the listen_list but the state is not set to RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND.
When the cmid is eventually destroyed cma_cancel_listens() is not called due to the wrong state, however the per-device IDs are still holding the refcount preventing the ID from being destroyed, thus deadlocking:

Ensure that cma_listen_on_all() atomically unwinds its action under the lock during error.
