6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9617cd6f24b294552a817f80f5225431ef67b540 ] At the time bdev_may_open() is called, module reference is grabbed already, hence module reference should be released if bdev_may_open() failed. This problem is found by code review.
