There is a use-after-free issue in nbd:

nbd_genl_connect() does not properly stop the device on certain error paths after nbd_start_device() has been called. This causes the error path to put nbd->config while recv_work continue to use the config after putting it, leading to use-after-free in recv_work.
This patch moves nbd_start_device() after the backend file creation.
