From: Zhang Wensheng <zhangwensheng5@xxxxxxxxxx> A problem was find in stable 5.10 and the root cause of it like below. In the use of q_usage_counter of request_queue, blk_cleanup_queue using "wait_event(q->mq_freeze_wq, percpu_ref_is_zero(&q->q_usage_counter))" to wait q_usage_counter becoming zero. however, if the q_usage_counter becoming zero quickly, and percpu_ref_exit will execute and ref->data will be freed, maybe another process will cause a null-defef problem like below: CPU0 CPU1 blk_cleanup_queue blk_freeze_queue blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait scsi_end_request percpu_ref_get ... percpu_ref_put atomic_long_sub_and_test percpu_ref_exit ref->data -> NULL ref->data->release(ref) -> null-deref Fix it by setting flag(QUEUE_FLAG_USAGE_COUNT_SYNC) to add synchronization mechanism, when ref->data->release is called, the flag will be setted, and the "wait_event" in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait must wait flag becoming true as well, which will limit percpu_ref_exit to execute ahead of time. Although the problem was not reproduced in mainline, it may also has problem when the passthrough IO which will go directly to blk_cleanup_queue and cause the problem as well.
