Subject: [PATCH] cfq-iosched: handle failure of cfq group allocation
Date: Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:42:49 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150209134249.12420.97482.stgit@buzz> (raw)
Cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() allocates struct blkcg_gq using GFP_ATOMIC.
In cfq_find_alloc_queue() possible allocation failure is not handled.
As a result kernel oopses on NULL pointer dereference when
cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() calls cfqg_get() for NULL pointer.
Bug was introduced in v3.5 in commit cd1604fab4f9 ("blkcg: factor
out blkio_group creation"). Prior to that commit cfq group lookup
had returned pointer to root group as fallback.
This patch handles this error using existing fallback oom_cfqq.
