Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] blk-cgroup: protect q->blkg_list iteration in blkg_destroy_all() with blkcg_mutex
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 19:25:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802112525.3933753-2-yukuai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260802112525.3933753-1-yukuai@kernel.org>
From: Yu Kuai <yukuai@fygo.io>
blkg_destroy_all() iterates q->blkg_list without holding blkcg_mutex,
which can race with blkg_free_workfn() that removes blkgs from the list
while holding blkcg_mutex.
Add blkcg_mutex protection around the q->blkg_list iteration to prevent
potential list corruption or use-after-free issues.
