Just like aio/io_uring, we need to grab 2 refcount for queuing one request, one is for submission, another is for completion. If the request isn't queued from plug code path, the refcount grabbed in generic_make_request() serves for submission. In theroy, this refcount should have been released after the sumission(async run queue) is done. blk_freeze_queue() works with blk_sync_queue() together for avoiding race between cleanup queue and IO submission, given async run queue activities are canceled because hctx->run_work is scheduled with the refcount held, so it is fine to not hold the refcount when running the run queue work function for dispatch IO. However, if request is staggered into plug list, and finally queued from plug code path, the refcount in submission side is actually missed. And we may start to run queue after queue is removed because the queue's kobject refcount isn't guaranteed to be grabbed in flushing plug list context, then kernel oops is triggered, see the following race: blk_mq_flush_plug_list(): blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() insert requests to sw queue or scheduler queue blk_mq_run_hw_queue Because of concurrent run queue, all requests inserted above may be completed before calling the above blk_mq_run_hw_queue. Then queue can be freed during the above blk_mq_run_hw_queue(). Fixes the issue by grab .q_usage_counter before calling blk_mq_sched_insert_requests() in blk_mq_flush_plug_list(). This way is safe because the queue is absolutely alive before inserting request.
