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

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, ..))		[1]
          if (!old_hctx)
	    break;

      xa_for_each_start(&q->hctx_table, j, hctx, j)
        blk_mq_exit_hctx(q, set, hctx, j); 			[2]

    if (!q->nr_hw_queues)					[3]
      goto err_hctxs;

  err_exit:
      q->mq_ops = NULL;			  			[4]

  blk_put_queue
    blk_release_queue
      if (queue_is_mq(q))					[5]
        blk_mq_release(q);

[1]: blk_mq_alloc_and_init_hctx failed at i != 0.
[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.
