Subject: [PATCH] block: Fix list corruption of blk stats callback list
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 11:29:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170411092901.5974-1-jack@suse.cz> (raw)

When CFQ calls wbt_disable_default(), it will call
blk_stat_remove_callback() to stop gathering IO statistics for the
purposes of writeback throttling. Later, when request_queue is
unregistered, wbt_exit() will call blk_stat_remove_callback() again
which will try to delete callback from the list again and possibly cause
list corruption.

Fix the problem by making wbt_disable_default() called wbt_exit() which
is properly guarded against being called multiple times.

So this fixes the list debug errors reported by 0-day for me. It was a
pre-existing problem with wbt_disable_default().
