Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] blk-cgroup: Reinit blkg_iostat_set after clearing in blkcg_reset_stats()
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:29:20 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421132920.38748-1-kovalev@altlinux.org> (raw)
From: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 3d2af77e31ade05ff7ccc3658c3635ec1bea0979 ]
When blkg_alloc() is called to allocate a blkcg_gq structure
with the associated blkg_iostat_set's, there are 2 fields within
blkg_iostat_set that requires proper initialization - blkg & sync.
The former field was introduced by commit 3b8cc6298724 ("blk-cgroup:
Optimize blkcg_rstat_flush()") while the later one was introduced by
commit f73316482977 ("blk-cgroup: reimplement basic IO stats using
cgroup rstat").
Unfortunately those fields in the blkg_iostat_set's are not properly
re-initialized when they are cleared in v1's blkcg_reset_stats(). This
can lead to a kernel panic due to NULL pointer access of the blkg
pointer. The missing initialization of sync is less problematic and
can be a problem in a debug kernel due to missing lockdep initialization.
Fix these problems by re-initializing them after memory clearing.
Fixes: 3b8cc6298724 ("blk-cgroup: Optimize blkcg_rstat_flush()")
Fixes: f73316482977 ("blk-cgroup: reimplement basic IO stats using cgroup rstat")
