Title
blk-cgroup: fix disk reference leak in blkcg_maybe_throttle_current()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-cgroup: fix disk reference leak in blkcg_maybe_throttle_current()
Add the missing put_disk() on the error path in
blkcg_maybe_throttle_current(). When blkcg lookup, blkg lookup, or
blkg_tryget() fails, the function jumps to the out label which only
calls rcu_read_unlock() but does not release the disk reference acquired
by blkcg_schedule_throttle() via get_device(). Since current->throttle_disk
is already set to NULL before the lookup, blkcg_exit() cannot release
this reference either, causing the disk to never be freed.
Restore the reference release that was present as blk_put_queue() in the
original code but was inadvertently dropped during the conversion from
request_queue to gendisk.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
