Subject: [PATCH] block, bfq: fix use after free in bfq_bfqq_expire
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 10:26:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190410082646.14221-1-paolo.valente@linaro.org> (raw)

The function bfq_bfqq_expire() invokes the function
__bfq_bfqq_expire(), and the latter may free the in-service bfq-queue.
If this happens, then no other instruction of bfq_bfqq_expire() must
be executed, or a use-after-free will occur.

Basing on the assumption that __bfq_bfqq_expire() invokes
bfq_put_queue() on the in-service bfq-queue exactly once, the queue is
assumed to be freed if its refcounter is equal to one right before
invoking __bfq_bfqq_expire().

But, since commit 9dee8b3b057e1 ("block, bfq: fix queue removal from
weights tree") this assumption is false. __bfq_bfqq_expire() may also
invoke bfq_weights_tree_remove() and, since commit 9dee8b3b057e1, also
the latter function may invoke bfq_put_queue(). So __bfq_bfqq_expire()
may invoke bfq_put_queue() twice, and this is the actual case where
the in-service queue may happen to be freed.

To address this issue, this commit moves the check on the refcounter
of the queue right around the last bfq_put_queue() that may be invoked
on the queue.
