CVE-2023-54153 is a memory-leak flaw in the Linux kernel ext4 filesystem mount error path. If quotas have been enabled and ext4_mark_recovery_complete() subsequently returns an error, the failed-mount cleanup path does not disable the enabled quotas. Consequently, quota-related allocations can remain unreleased after the ext4 mount fails. The corrective change adds a failed_mount10 error path that invokes ext4_quota_off_umount() to release enabled quotas.
