In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
null_blk: register configfs subsystem after creating default devices
In null_init(), configfs_register_subsystem() currently runs before register_blkdev(), so when null_blk is built as a module, a racing mkdir()

Additionally, the err_dev path destroys all devices on nullb_list while configfs is still registered. If a racing mkdir() + poweron puts a user device on the list, null_destroy_dev()->null_free_dev() kfrees the user device's nullb_device but /sys/kernel/config/nullb/<name> is still reachable. Any userspace access to the item will trigger a UAF.
For simplicity, move configfs_register_subsystem() to the end to solve the problems above.
