The following one line change should avoid the issue: diff --git a/drivers/block/loop.c b/drivers/block/loop.c index 146eaa03629b..3cd51bddfec9 100644 --- a/drivers/block/loop.c +++ b/drivers/block/loop.c @@ -980,7 +980,6 @@ static struct loop_worker *loop_alloc_or_get_worker(struct loop_device *lo, static void loop_release_worker(struct loop_worker *worker) { - xa_erase(&worker->lo->workers, worker->blkcg_css->id); css_put(worker->blkcg_css); kfree(worker); } @@ -1167,6 +1166,7 @@ static void __loop_free_idle_workers(struct loop_device *lo, bool force) if (!force && time_is_after_jiffies(worker->last_ran_at + LOOP_IDLE_WORKER_TIMEOUT)) break; + xa_erase(&worker->lo->workers, worker->blkcg_css->id); if (refcount_dec_and_test(&worker->refcnt)) loop_release_worker(worker); } Thanks, Ming
