Subject: [PATCH] blk-wbt: prevent NULL pointer dereference in wb_timer_fn
Message-ID: <YW6N2qXpBU3oc50q@arighi-desktop>

The timer callback used to evaluate if the latency is exceeded can be
executed after the corresponding disk has been released, causing the
following NULL pointer dereference:

In this case simply return from the timer callback (no action
required) to prevent the NULL pointer dereference.

NOTE: I'm not sure if this is more of a bandaid rather than a proper
fix, but I have a reliable reproducer and with this applied I can
prevent the kernel from exploding badly.
