The submission of plugged BIOs is done using a work struct executing the function blk_zone_wplug_bio_work(). This function gets and submits a plugged zone write BIO and is guaranteed to operate on a valid zone write plug (with a reference count higher than 0) on entry as plugged BIOs hold a reference on their zone write plugs. However, once a BIO is submitted with submit_bio_noacct_nocheck(), the BIO may complete before blk_zone_wplug_bio_work(), with the BIO completion trigering a release and freeing of the zone write plug if the BIO is the last write to a zone (making the zone FULL). This potentially can result in the zone write plug being freed while the work is still active. Avoid this by calling flush_work() from disk_free_zone_wplug_rcu().
