This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bfq: fix waker_bfqq inconsistency crash to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bfq-fix-waker_bfqq-inconsistency-crash.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 53972f17ae3d107dcec19e04e645df68075a93db Author: Khazhismel Kumykov <khazhy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 8 10:10:29 2022 -0800 bfq: fix waker_bfqq inconsistency crash [ Upstream commit a1795c2ccb1e4c49220d2a0d381540024d71647c ] This fixes crashes in bfq_add_bfqq_busy due to waker_bfqq being NULL, but woken_list_node still being hashed. This would happen when bfq_init_rq() expects a brand new allocated queue to be returned from bfq_get_bfqq_handle_split() and unconditionally updates waker_bfqq without resetting woken_list_node. Since we can always return oom_bfqq when attempting to allocate, we cannot assume waker_bfqq starts as NULL. Avoid setting woken_bfqq for oom_bfqq entirely, as it's not useful. Crashes would have a stacktrace like: [160595.656560] bfq_add_bfqq_busy+0x110/0x1ec [160595.661142] bfq_add_request+0x6bc/0x980 [160595.666602] bfq_insert_request+0x8ec/0x1240 [160595.671762] bfq_insert_requests+0x58/0x9c [160595.676420] blk_mq_sched_insert_request+0x11c/0x198 [160595.682107] blk_mq_submit_bio+0x270/0x62c [160595.686759] __submit_bio_noacct_mq+0xec/0x178 [160595.691926] submit_bio+0x120/0x184 [160595.695990] ext4_mpage_readpages+0x77c/0x7c8 [160595.701026] ext4_readpage+0x60/0xb0 [160595.705158] filemap_read_page+0x54/0x114 [160595.711961] filemap_fault+0x228/0x5f4 [160595.716272] do_read_fault+0xe0/0x1f0 [160595.720487] do_fault+0x40/0x1c8 Tested by injecting random failures into bfq_get_queue, crashes go away completely.
