[PATCH 3.16 234/254] blk-mq: fix race between timeout and freeing request

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 28 2018 - 11:08:27 EST

3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0048b4837affd153897ed1222283492070027aa9 upstream.

Inside timeout handler, blk_mq_tag_to_rq() is called
to retrieve the request from one tag. This way is obviously
wrong because the request can be freed any time and some
fiedds of the request can't be trusted, then kernel oops
might be triggered[1].

Currently wrt. blk_mq_tag_to_rq(), the only special case is
that the flush request can share same tag with the request
cloned from, and the two requests can't be active at the same
time, so this patch fixes the above issue by updating tags->rqs[tag]
with the active request(either flush rq or the request cloned
from) of the tag.

Also blk_mq_tag_to_rq() gets much simplified with this patch.

Given blk_mq_tag_to_rq() is mainly for drivers and the caller must
make sure the request can't be freed, so in bt_for_each() this
helper is replaced with tags->rqs[tag].

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Flush state is in struct request_queue, not struct blk_flush_queue
- Flush request cloning is done in blk_mq_clone_flush_request() rather
than blk_kick_flush()
- Drop changes in bt{,_tags}_for_each()
- Adjust filename, context]
