Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm: fix use-after-free in dm_cleanup_zoned_dev()

dm_cleanup_zoned_dev() uses queue, so it must be called before blk_cleanup_disk() starts its killing:

blk_cleanup_disk->blk_cleanup_queue()->kobject_put()->blk_release_queue()-> ->...RCU...->blk_free_queue_rcu()->kmem_cache_free()

Otherwise, RCU callback may be executed first and dm_cleanup_zoned_dev() will touch free'd memory:
