[PATCH] blk-cgroup: clear blkg->pd[] with WRITE_ONCE() in blkcg_deactivate_policy()
From: Guopeng Zhang
Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 09:05:35 EST
From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@xxxxxxxxxx>
blkcg_activate_policy() installs blkg->pd[] entries with WRITE_ONCE()
and also uses WRITE_ONCE() when clearing them on its error path.
blkg_to_pd() is used by RCU readers and reads the same array with
READ_ONCE().
blkcg_deactivate_policy() clears the entry with a plain store. Use
WRITE_ONCE() there as well.
Fixes: 56cc24f59c14 ("blk-cgroup: don't nest queue_lock under rcu in blkcg_print_blkgs()")
