I recently got a KASAN warning like this in our 4.19 kernel:

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8000c0864f00#012 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-256 of size 256
The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of#012 256-byte region [ffff8000c0864f00, ffff8000c0865000)

==================================================================

After looking into it, I think it's because bt_for_each() accessed
uninitialized pointer address:

thread1 thread2
blk_mq_alloc_tag_set
...
blk_mq_init_queue
...
submit_bio(bio1) submit_bio(bio2)
blk_mq_get_request
blk_mq_get_tag
...
bt_for_each
bt_iter
rq = tags->rqs[b]
rq->q ----> here
blk_mq_rq_ctx_init
tags->rqs[a] = rq

blk_mq_get_tag() is called before blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(), which leaves a
window for bt_for_each() to access 'tags->rqs[tag]->q' before
'tags->rqs[tag]' is set in blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(). While blk_mq_init_tags()
is using 'kcalloc()' for 'tags->rqs'. And I think the problem exist in
mainline, too.

The problem haven't been reporduced unless I manually sleep a while
before 'tags->rqs[tag]' is set:

BTW, I noticed there is a similar problem that haven't been solved yet:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/1545261885.185366.488.camel@xxxxxxx/

I'm trying to fix the problem by replacing 'kcalloc' as 'kzalloc' for
'tags->rqs', and set 'tags->rqs[tag]' to 'NULL' before putting the tag.
