Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
null_blk: free global tag_set on init error path
If shared_tags is enabled, null_setup_tagset() allocates the global tag_set
via null_init_global_tag_set(). If device creation later fails, err_dev
destroys the default devices and calls unregister_blkdev(), but never frees
the global tag_set. Since module init failed, null_exit() is never invoked,
so the global tag_set's tags and maps are permanently leaked.
Free the global tag_set in err_dev, matching null_exit() which does
if (tag_set.ops) blk_mq_free_tag_set(&tag_set).
