If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards. If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above. This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1). Both sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue. For scenarios called via sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io, thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(), and the issue becomes easily reproducible again. To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs(). Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(), and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already been shutdown.
