Commit 59b57717fff8 ("blkcg: delay blkg destruction until after writeback has finished") delayed call to blkcg_destroy_blkgs() to cgwb_release_workfn(). However, it is done after a css_put() of blkcg which may be the final put that causes the blkcg to be freed as RCU read lock isn't held. Another place where blkcg_destroy_blkgs() can be called indirectly via blkcg_unpin_online() is from the offline_css() function called from css_killed_work_fn(). Over there, the potentially final css_put() call is issued after offline_css(). By adding a css_tryget() into blkcg_destroy_blkgs() and warning its failure, the following stack trace was produced in a test system on bootup. [ 34.254240] RIP: 0010:blkcg_destroy_blkgs+0x16a/0x1a0 : [ 34.339943] Call Trace: [ 34.344510] blkcg_unpin_online+0x38/0x60 [ 34.348523] cgwb_release_workfn+0x6a/0x200 [ 34.352708] process_one_work+0x1e5/0x3b0 [ 34.360758] worker_thread+0x50/0x3a0 [ 34.368447] kthread+0xd9/0x100 [ 34.376386] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 This confirms that a potential UAF situation can really happen in cgwb_release_workfn(). Fix that by delaying the css_put() until after the blkcg_unpin_online() call. Also use percpu_ref_is_zero() in blkcg_destroy_blkgs() and issue a warning if reference count is zero. The reproducing system can no longer produce a warning with this patch. All the runnable block/0* tests including block/027 were run successfully without failure.
