Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix module reference leakage from bdev_open_by_dev error path
At the time bdev_may_open() is called, module reference is grabbed
already, hence module reference should be released if bdev_may_open()
failed.
This problem is found by code review.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.8 < 6.8.9)
• linux linux kernel 6.9
