[PATCH 3.13 171/198] blkcg: fix use-after-free in __blkg_release_rcu() by making blkcg_gq refcnt an atomic_t

3.13.11.5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit a5049a8ae34950249a7ae94c385d7c5c98914412 upstream.
Hello,
So, this patch should do. Joe, Vivek, can one of you guys please
verify that the oops goes away with this patch?
Jens, the original thread can be read at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1720729
The fix converts blkg->refcnt from int to atomic_t. It does some
overhead but it should be minute compared to everything else which is
going on and the involved cacheline bouncing, so I think it's highly
unlikely to cause any noticeable difference. Also, the refcnt in
question should be converted to a perpcu_ref for blk-mq anyway, so the
atomic_t is likely to go away pretty soon anyway.
Thanks.

__blkg_release_rcu() may be invoked after the associated request_queue
is released with a RCU grace period inbetween. As such, the function
and callbacks invoked from it must not dereference the associated
request_queue. This is clearly indicated in the comment above the
function.
Unfortunately, while trying to fix a different issue, 2a4fd070ee85
("blkcg: move bulk of blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU
callback") ignored this and added [un]locking of @blkg->q->queue_lock
to __blkg_release_rcu(). This of course can cause oops as the
request_queue may be long gone by the time this code gets executed.

The request_queue locking was added because blkcg_gq->refcnt is an int
protected with the queue lock and __blkg_release_rcu() needs to put
the parent. Let's fix it by making blkcg_gq->refcnt an atomic_t and
dropping queue locking in the function.
Given the general heavy weight of the current request_queue and blkcg
operations, this is unlikely to cause any noticeable overhead.
Moreover, blkcg_gq->refcnt is likely to be converted to percpu_ref in
the near future, so whatever (most likely negligible) overhead it may
add is temporary.
