This is because if rename device happens, the old name is freed in
ib_device_rename() with lock, but ib_device_notify_register() may visit
the dev name locklessly by event RDMA_REGISTER_EVENT or
RDMA_NETDEV_ATTACH_EVENT.

Fix this by hold devices_rwsem in ib_device_notify_register().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-22085 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
