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

drivers/base/memory: set mem->altmap after successful device registration

If __add_memory_block() fails at xa_store() (under memory pressure for
example), device_unregister() is called, which eventually triggers
memory_block_release() with mem->altmap still set, causing a
WARN_ON(mem->altmap).  This was triggered by modifying virtio-mem driver.

Fix this by delaying the assignment of mem->altmap until after
__add_memory_block() has succeeded.
