Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's net/rds module. This vulnerability involves a circular locking dependency within the rds_tcp_tune() function. The issue arises when the sk_net_refcnt_upgrade() function performs memory allocation while a socket lock is held, creating a deadlock with the fs_reclaim lock. This can lead to system unresponsiveness or crashes, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
