Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-mq: Fix kmemleak in blk_mq_init_allocated_queue There is a kmemleak caused by modprobe null_blk.ko unreferenced object 0xffff8881acb1f000 (size 1024): comm "modprobe", pid 836, jiffies 4294971190 (age 27.068s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 .....N.......... ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 53 99 9e ff ff ff ff .........S...... backtrace: [<000000004a10c249>] kmalloc_node_trace+0x22/0x60 [<00000000648f7950>] blk_mq_alloc_and_init_hctx+0x289/0x350 [<00000000af06de0e>] blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs+0x2fe/0x3d0 [<00000000e00c1872>] blk_mq_init_allocated_queue+0x48c/0x1440 [<00000000d16b4e68>] __blk_mq_alloc_disk+0xc8/0x1c0 [<00000000d10c98c3>] 0xffffffffc450d69d [<00000000b9299f48>] 0xffffffffc4538392 [<0000000061c39ed6>] do_one_initcall+0xd0/0x4f0 [<00000000b389383b>] do_init_module+0x1a4/0x680 [<0000000087cf3542>] load_module+0x6249/0x7110 [<00000000beba61b8>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x140/0x200 [<00000000fdcfff51>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<000000003c0f1f71>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 That is because q->ma_ops is set to NULL before blk_release_queue is called. blk_mq_init_queue_data blk_mq_init_allocated_queue blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs for (i = 0; i < set->nr_hw_queues; i++) { old_hctx = xa_load(&q->hctx_table, i); if (!blk_mq_alloc_and_init_hctx(.., i, ..))

[2]: The hctxs allocated by [1] are moved to q->unused_hctx_list and will be cleaned up in blk_mq_release. [3]: q->nr_hw_queues is 0. [4]: Set q->mq_ops to NULL. [5]: queue_is_mq returns false due to [4]. And blk_mq_release will not be called. The hctxs in q->unused_hctx_list are leaked. To fix it, call blk_release_queue in exception path.
