    blkcg: Fix use-after-free of q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg · 65635cbc
    Jun'ichi Nomura authored
    blk_put_rl() does not call blkg_put() for q->root_rl because we
    don't take request list reference on q->root_blkg.
    However, if root_blkg is once attached then detached (freed),
    blk_put_rl() is confused by the bogus pointer in q->root_blkg.
    
    For example, with !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING &&
    CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED,
    switching IO scheduler from cfq to deadline will cause system stall
    after the following warning with 3.6:

    This patch clears q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg when root blkg
    is destroyed.
