Subject: [PATCH] blkcg: Fix use-after-free of q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:45:36 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <507E7030.9070607@ce.jp.nec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <507DF58E.8060804@ce.jp.nec.com>

blk_put_rl() does not call blkg_put() for q->root_rl because we
don't take request list reference on q->root_blkg.
However, if root_blkg is once attached then detached (freed),
blk_put_rl() is confused by the bogus pointer in q->root_blkg.

For example, with !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING &&
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED,
switching IO scheduler from cfq to deadline will cause system stall
after the following warning with 3.6:

This patch clears q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg when root blkg
is destroyed.

v3:
  Removed a hunk for NULL-check q->root_blkg in __blk_queue_next_rl().
  Current code can handle the case without the change.

v2:
  Added comments in code based on Vivek's suggestion.
