Description

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

nvme: apple: fix device reference counting

Split the allocation side out to make the error handling boundary easier
to navigate. The apple driver had been doing this wrong, leaking the
controller device memory on a tagset failure.
