Remove block device when iocost is initializing may cause null-pointer dereference: CPU1 CPU2 ioc_qos_write blkcg_conf_open_bdev blkdev_get_no_open kobject_get_unless_zero blk_iocost_init rq_qos_add del_gendisk rq_qos_exit q->rq_qos = rqos->next //iocost is removed from q->roqs blkcg_activate_policy pd_init_fn ioc_pd_init ioc = q_to_ioc(blkg->q) //cant find iocost and return null Fix problem by moving rq_qos_exit() to disk_release(). ioc_qos_write() get bd_device.kobj in blkcg_conf_open_bdev(), so disk_release will not be actived until iocost initialization is complited.
