Subject: [PATCH] bdi: Fix another oops in wb_workfn()
syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at wb_workfn() [1] due to
wb->bdi->dev being NULL. And Dmitry confirmed that wb->state was
WB_shutting_down after wb->bdi->dev became NULL. This indicates that
unregister_bdi() failed to call wb_shutdown() on one of wb objects.
Since cgwb_bdi_unregister() from bdi_unregister() cannot call wb_shutdown()
on wb objects which have already passed list_del_rcu() in wb_shutdown(),
cgwb_bdi_unregister() from bdi_unregister() can return and set wb->bdi->dev
to NULL before such wb objects enter final round of wb_workfn() via
mod_delayed_work()/flush_delayed_work().
Since WB_registered is already cleared by wb_shutdown(), only wb_shutdown()
can schedule for final round of wb_workfn(). Since concurrent calls to
wb_shutdown() on the same wb object is safe because of WB_shutting_down
state, I think that wb_shutdown() can safely keep a wb object in the
bdi->wb_list until that wb object leaves final round of wb_workfn().
Thus, make wb_shutdown() call list_del_rcu() after flush_delayed_work().
