blkcg: fix ref count issue with bio_blkcg using task_css
The accessor function bio_blkcg either returns the blkcg associated with the bio or finds one in the current context. This can cause an issue when trying to associate a bio with a blkcg. Particularly, it's the third case that is problematic: return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id)); As the above may race against task migration and the cgroup exiting, it is not always ok to take a reference on the blkcg returned from bio_blkcg. This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg rather than after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the code paths for calling bio_blkcg. blk_get_rl is modified as well to get a reference to the blkcg it may use and blk_put_rl will always put the reference back. Association is also moved above the bio_blkcg call to ensure it will not return NULL in blk-iolatency. BFQ and CFQ utilize this flaw, but due to the complexity, I do not want to address this in this series. I've created a private version of the function with notes not to use it describing the flaw. Hopefully soon, that code can be cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennisszhou@gmail.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
