4 Subject: block: blk_init_allocated_queue() set q->fq as NULL in the fail case
6 From: xiao jin <jin.xiao@intel.com>
8 commit 54648cf1ec2d7f4b6a71767799c45676a138ca24 upstream.
10 We find the memory use-after-free issue in __blk_drain_queue()
11 on the kernel 4.14. After read the latest kernel 4.18-rc6 we
12 think it has the same problem.
14 Memory is allocated for q->fq in the blk_init_allocated_queue().
15 If the elevator init function called with error return, it will
16 run into the fail case to free the q->fq.
18 Then the __blk_drain_queue() uses the same memory after the free
19 of the q->fq, it will lead to the unpredictable event.
21 The patch is to set q->fq as NULL in the fail case of
22 blk_init_allocated_queue().
24 Fixes: commit 7c94e1c157a2 ("block: introduce blk_flush_queue to drive flush machinery")
