In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fc: release admin tagset if init fails
nvme_fabrics creates an NVMe/FC controller in following path:
nvmf_dev_write()
-> nvmf_create_ctrl()
-> nvme_fc_create_ctrl()
-> nvme_fc_init_ctrl()
nvme_fc_init_ctrl() allocates the admin blk-mq resources right after
nvme_add_ctrl() succeeds. If any of the subsequent steps fail (changing
the controller state, scheduling connect work, etc.), we jump to the
fail_ctrl path, which tears down the controller references but never
frees the admin queue/tag set. The leaked blk-mq allocations match the
kmemleak report seen during blktests nvme/fc.
Check ctrl->ctrl.admin_tagset in the fail_ctrl path and call
nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() when it is set so that all admin queue
allocations are reclaimed whenever controller setup aborts.
