Hi, all 

We have reported a use-after-free crash for bdi device in __blkg_prfill_rwstat().
The bug is caused by printing device kobj->name while the device and kobj->name
has been freed by bdi_unregister().

In fact, commit 68f23b8906 "memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears"
has tried to address the issue, but the code is till somewhat racy after that commit.

In this patchset, we try to protect bdi->dev with spinlock and copy device name
into caller buffer, avoiding use-after-free. 

V4:
  * Fix coding error in bdi_get_dev_name()
  * Write one patch for each broken caller

V3:
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-block/msg51111.html 
  Use spinlock to protect bdi->dev and copy device name into caller buffer

V2:
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg163206.html
  Try to protect device lifetime with RCU.

V1:
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-block/msg49693.html
  Add a new spinlock and copy kobj->name into caller buffer.
  Or using synchronize_rcu() to wait until reader complete.

Yufen Yu (6):
  bdi: use bdi_dev_name() to get device name
  bdi: protect bdi->dev with spinlock
  bfq: fix potential kernel crash when print error info
  memcg: fix crash in wb_workfn when bdi unregister
  blk-wbt: replace bdi_dev_name() with bdi_get_dev_name()
  blkcg: fix use-after-free for bdi->dev
