Subject: CVE-2022-50475: RDMA/core: Make sure "ib_port" is valid when access sysfs node

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

RDMA/core: Make sure "ib_port" is valid when access sysfs node

The "ib_port" structure must be set before adding the sysfs kobject,
and reset after removing it, otherwise it may crash when accessing
the sysfs node:

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:
