Subject: blkcg: don't call into policy draining if root_blkg is already gone
From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0b462c89e31f7eb6789713437eb551833ee16ff3 upstream.
While a queue is being destroyed, all the blkgs are destroyed and its
->root_blkg pointer is set to NULL. If someone else starts to drain
while the queue is in this state, the following oops happens.
NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028

776687bce42b ("block, blk-mq: draining can't be skipped even if
bypass_depth was non-zero") made it easier to trigger this bug by
making blk_queue_bypass_start() drain even when it loses the first
bypass test to blk_cleanup_queue(); however, the bug has always been
there even before the commit as blk_queue_bypass_start() could race
against queue destruction, win the initial bypass test but perform the
actual draining after blk_cleanup_queue() already destroyed all blkgs.
Fix it by skippping calling into policy draining if all the blkgs are
already gone.
