[PATCH] block: revert pushing the final release of request_queue to a workqueue.

From: yu kuai
Date: Thu Feb 06 2020 - 06:12:07 EST


syzbot is reporting use after free bug in debugfs_remove[1].

This is because in request_queue, 'q->debugfs_dir' and
'q->blk_trace->dir' could be the same dir. And in __blk_release_queue(),
blk_mq_debugfs_unregister() will remove everything inside the dir.

With futher investigation of the reporduce repro, the problem can be
reporduced by following procedure:

1. LOOP_CTL_ADD, create a request_queue q1, blk_mq_debugfs_register() will
create the dir.
2. LOOP_CTL_REMOVE, blk_release_queue() will add q1 to release queue.
3. LOOP_CTL_ADD, create another request_queue q2,blk_mq_debugfs_register()
will fail because the dir aready exist.
4. BLKTRACESETUP, create two files(msg and dropped) inside the dir.
5. call __blk_release_queue() for q1, debugfs_remove_recursive() will
delete the files created in step 4.
6. LOOP_CTL_REMOVE, blk_release_queue() will add q2 to release queue.
And when __blk_release_queue() is called for q2, blk_trace_shutdown() will
try to release the two files created in step 4, wich are aready released
in step 5.

commit dc9edc44de6c ("block: Fix a blk_exit_rl() regression") pushed the
final release of request_queue to a workqueue, witch is not necessary
since commit 1e9364283764 ("blk-sysfs: Rework documention of
__blk_release_queue").
