Several block drivers call alloc_disk() followed by put_disk() if something fails before device_add_disk() is called without calling blk_cleanup_queue(). Make sure that also for this scenario a request queue is dissociated from the cgroup controller. This patch avoids that loading the parport_pc, paride and pf drivers triggers the following kernel crash: BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in pi_init+0x42e/0x580 [paride] Read of size 4 at addr 0000000000000008 by task modprobe/744 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x9a/0xeb kasan_report+0x139/0x350 pi_init+0x42e/0x580 [paride] pf_init+0x2bb/0x1000 [pf] do_one_initcall+0x8e/0x405 do_init_module+0xd9/0x2f2 load_module+0x3ab4/0x4700 SYSC_finit_module+0x176/0x1a0 do_syscall_64+0xee/0x2b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x42/0xb7 Reported-by: Alexandru Moise <00moses.alexander00@xxxxxxxxx> Fixes: a063057d7c73 ("block: Fix a race between request queue removal and the block cgroup controller") Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> Cc: Alexandru Moise <00moses.alexander00@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> --- block/blk-sysfs.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+) diff --git a/block/blk-sysfs.c b/block/blk-sysfs.c index f8457d6f0190..2e134da78f82 100644 --- a/block/blk-sysfs.c +++ b/block/blk-sysfs.c @@ -788,11 +788,37 @@ static void blk_free_queue_rcu(struct rcu_head *rcu_head) static void __blk_release_queue(struct work_struct *work) { struct request_queue *q = container_of(work, typeof(*q), release_work); + struct blkcg_gq *gq; if (test_bit(QUEUE_FLAG_POLL_STATS, &q->queue_flags)) blk_stat_remove_callback(q, q->poll_cb); blk_stat_free_callback(q->poll_cb); + if (!blk_queue_dead(q)) { + /* + * Last reference was dropped without having called + * blk_cleanup_queue(). + */ + WARN_ONCE(blk_queue_init_done(q), + "request queue %p has been registered but blk_cleanup_queue() has not been called for that queue\n", + q); + bdi_put(q->backing_dev_info); + blkcg_exit_queue(q); + + if (q->elevator) { + ioc_clear_queue(q); + elevator_exit(q, q->elevator); + } + } + + rcu_read_lock(); + gq = blkg_lookup(&blkcg_root, q); + rcu_read_unlock(); + + WARN(gq, + "request queue %p is being released but it has not yet been removed from the blkcg controller\n", + q); + blk_free_queue_stats(q->stats); blk_exit_rl(q, &q->root_rl); -- 2.16.2
