commitb4bd701ac4upstream. Failure in rereg MR releases UMEM but leaves the MR to be destroyed by the user. As a result the following scenario may happen: "create MR -> rereg MR with failure -> call to rereg MR again" and hit "NULL-ptr deref or user memory access" errors. Ensure that rereg MR is only performed on a non-dead MR.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
