Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-12-27 15:31 – Updated: 2026-10-30 15:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: initialize close_work early to avoid warning
We encountered a warning that close_work was canceled before initialization.
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 111103 at kernel/workqueue.c:3047 __flush_work+0x19e/0x1b0 Workqueue: events smc_lgr_terminate_work [smc] RIP: 0010:__flush_work+0x19e/0x1b0 Call Trace: ? __wake_up_common+0x7a/0x190 ? work_busy+0x80/0x80 __cancel_work_timer+0xe3/0x160 smc_close_cancel_work+0x1a/0x70 [smc] smc_close_active_abort+0x207/0x360 [smc] __smc_lgr_terminate.part.38+0xc8/0x180 [smc] process_one_work+0x19e/0x340 worker_thread+0x30/0x370 ? process_one_work+0x340/0x340 kthread+0x117/0x130 ? __kthread_cancel_work+0x50/0x50 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
This is because when smc_close_cancel_work is triggered, e.g. the RDMA driver is rmmod and the LGR is terminated, the conn->close_work is flushed before initialization, resulting in WARN_ON(!work->func).
_smc_lgr_terminate | smc_connect{rdma|ism}
| smc_conn_create
| \- smc_lgr_register_conn
for conn in lgr->conns_all | - smc_conn_kill | - smc_close_active_abort | - smc_close_cancel_work | - cancel_work_sync | - __flush_work | (close_work) | | smc_close_init | - INIT_WORK(&close_work)
So fix this by initializing close_work before establishing the connection.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
