Hewlett Packard Enterprise RDMA NULL Pointer Dereference Vulnerability
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix NULL pointer problem in free_mr_init() Lock grab occurs in a concurrent scenario, resulting in stepping on a NULL pointer. It should be init mutex_init() first before use the lock.
