Failure in rereg MR releases UMEM but leaves the MR to be destroyed
by the user. As a result the following scenario may happen:
"create MR -> rereg MR with failure -> call to rereg MR again" and
hit "NULL-ptr deref or user memory access" errors.
Ensure that rereg MR is only performed on a non-dead MR.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
