Subject: [PATCH] block: fix use-after-free of q->q_usage_counter

From: Ming Lei <[email protected]>

commit d36a9ea5e7766961e753ee38d4c331bbe6ef659b upstream.

For blk-mq, queue release handler is usually called after
blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() returns. However, the
q_usage_counter->release() handler may not be run yet at that time, so
this can cause a use-after-free.

Fix the issue by moving percpu_ref_exit() into blk_free_queue_rcu().
Since ->release() is called with rcu read lock held, it is agreed that
the race should be covered in caller per discussion from the two links.

Backport-notes: Not a clean cherry-pick since a lot has changed,
however essentially the same fix.

Looks fine.

BTW, you should have provided target stable tree release info, otherwise how
you expect people to review?

Thanks,

What stable kernel(s) are you expecting this backport to be applied to?

Apologies for leaving out the stable release info.
This is for both 5.10 and patch applies cleanly for 5.15.

I just sent out a (different) modified patch for 6.1 LTS.
