[merged mm-stable] writeback-avoid-use-after-free-after-removing-device.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing device
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     writeback-avoid-use-after-free-after-removing-device.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing device
Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2022 08:50:34 -0700

When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further
writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete.  However,
wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after
this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the
just freed bdi_writeback.

Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when
scheduling writeback work.

Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get
called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.
