Summary

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

nvme: avoid double free special payload

If a discard request needs to be retried, and that retry may fail before a new special payload is added, a double free will result. Clear the RQF_SPECIAL_LOAD when the request is cleaned.
