[ Upstream commit 2de791ab4918969d8108f15238a701968375f235 ]
Changes from v1:
- update commit description with proper ref-accounting justification
commit db37a34c563b ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree")
introduce leak forbfq_group and blkcg_gq objects because of get/put
imbalance.
In fact whole idea of original commit is wrong because bfq_group entity
can not dissapear under us because it is referenced by child bfq_queue's
entities from here:
-> bfq_init_entity()
->bfqg_and_blkg_get(bfqg);
->entity->parent = bfqg->my_entity
-> bfq_put_queue(bfqq)
FINAL_PUT
->bfqg_and_blkg_put(bfqq_group(bfqq))
->kmem_cache_free(bfq_pool, bfqq);
So parent entity can not disappear while child entity is in tree,
and child entities already has proper protection.
This patch revert commit db37a34c563b ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree")
bfq_group leak trace caused by bad commit:
-> blkg_alloc
-> bfq_pq_alloc
-> bfqg_get (+1)
->bfq_activate_bfqq
->bfq_activate_requeue_entity
-> __bfq_activate_entity
->bfq_get_entity
->bfqg_and_blkg_get (+1) <==== : Note1
->bfq_del_bfqq_busy
->bfq_deactivate_entity+0x53/0xc0 [bfq]
->__bfq_deactivate_entity+0x1b8/0x210 [bfq]
-> bfq_forget_entity(is_in_service = true)
entity->on_st_or_in_serv = false <=== :Note2
if (is_in_service)
return; ==> do not touch reference
-> blkcg_css_offline
-> blkcg_destroy_blkgs
-> blkg_destroy
-> bfq_pd_offline
-> __bfq_deactivate_entity
if (!entity->on_st_or_in_serv) /* true, because (Note2)
return false;
-> bfq_pd_free
-> bfqg_put() (-1, byt bfqg->ref == 2) because of (Note2)
So bfq_group and blkcg_gq will leak forever, see test-case below.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
