commit c2da19ed50554ce52ecbad3655c98371fe58599f upstream. For fixing use-after-free during iterating over requests, we grabbed request's refcount before calling ->fn in commit 2e315dc07df0 ("blk-mq: grab rq->refcount before calling ->fn in blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter"). Turns out this way may cause kernel panic when iterating over one flush request: 1) old flush request's tag is just released, and this tag is reused by one new request, but ->rqs[] isn't updated yet 2) the flush request can be re-used for submitting one new flush command, so blk_rq_init() is called at the same time 3) meantime blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() is called, and old flush request is retrieved from ->rqs[tag]; when blk_mq_put_rq_ref() is called, flush_rq->end_io may not be updated yet, so NULL pointer dereference is triggered in blk_mq_put_rq_ref(). Fix the issue by calling refcount_set(&flush_rq->ref, 1) after flush_rq->end_io is set. So far the only other caller of blk_rq_init() is scsi_ioctl_reset() in which the request doesn't enter block IO stack and the request reference count isn't used, so the change is safe.

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.
