commit 9dee8b3b057e1da26f85f1842f2aaf3bb200fb94 upstream. bfq maintains an ordered list, through a red-black tree, of unique weights of active bfq_queues. This list is used to detect whether there are active queues with differentiated weights. The weight of a queue is removed from the list when both the following two conditions become true: (1) the bfq_queue is flagged as inactive (2) the has no in-flight request any longer; Unfortunately, in the rare cases where condition (2) becomes true before condition (1), the removal fails, because the function to remove the weight of the queue (bfq_weights_tree_remove) is rightly invoked in the path that deactivates the bfq_queue, but mistakenly invoked *before* the function that actually performs the deactivation (bfq_deactivate_bfqq). This commits moves the invocation of bfq_weights_tree_remove for condition (1) to after bfq_deactivate_bfqq. As a consequence of this move, it is necessary to add a further reference to the queue when the weight of a queue is added, because the queue might otherwise be freed before bfq_weights_tree_remove is invoked. This commit adds this reference and makes all related modifications.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
