Our test report a uaf for 'bfqq->bic' in 5.10:

Perhaps we can trim this UAF report a bit to what I've left above? That
should be enough to give idea about the problem.
Yes, of course.

Commit 3bc5e683c67d ("bfq: Split shared queues on move between cgroups")
changes that move process to a new cgroup will allocate a new bfqq to
use, however, the old bfqq and new bfqq can point to the same bic:

1) Initial state, two process with io in the same cgroup.

Process 1 Process 2
(BIC1) (BIC2)
| Λ | Λ
| | | |
V | V |
bfqq1 bfqq2

2) bfqq1 is merged to bfqq2.

Process 1 Process 2(cg1)
(BIC1) (BIC2)
| |
\-------------\|
V
bfqq1 bfqq2(coop)

3) Process 1 exit, then issue new io(denoce IOA) from Process 2.

(BIC2)
| Λ
| |
V |
bfqq2(coop)

4) Before IOA is completed, move Process 2 to another cgroup and issue io.

Process 2
(BIC2)
Λ
|\--------------\
| V
bfqq2 bfqq3

Now that BIC2 points to bfqq3, while bfqq2 and bfqq3 both point to BIC2.
If all the requests are completed, and Process 2 exit, BIC2 will be
freed while there is no guarantee that bfqq2 will be freed before BIC2.

Fix the problem by clearing bfqq->bic if process references is decreased
to zero, since that they are not related anymore.

Thanks for the analysis and the patch! I agree this is a problem.

Rather than changing bfq_release_process_ref() I think it would be more
logical to change bic_set_bfqq() like:

struct bfq_queue *old_bfqq = bic->bfqq[is_sync];

/* Clear bic pointer if we are detaching bfqq from its bic */
if (old_bfqq && old_bfqq->bic == bic)
old_bfqq->bic = NULL;

And then we can also remove several explicit bfqq->bic = NULL statements
from bfq code.

Yes, I agree. I'll send a new patch soon.

Thanks,
Kuai
