[PATCH 3.10 29/53] cfq-iosched: handle failure of cfq group allocation

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru>

commit 69abaffec7d47a083739b79e3066cb3730eba72e upstream.

Cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() allocates struct blkcg_gq using GFP_ATOMIC.
In cfq_find_alloc_queue() possible allocation failure is not handled.
As a result kernel oopses on NULL pointer dereference when
cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() calls cfqg_get() for NULL pointer.

Bug was introduced in v3.5 in commit cd1604fab4f9 ("blkcg: factor
out blkio_group creation"). Prior to that commit cfq group lookup
had returned pointer to root group as fallback.

This patch handles this error using existing fallback oom_cfqq.
