[PATCH v3] blk-iocost: Pass gendisk to ioc_refresh_params

From: Breno Leitao
Date: Mon Feb 27 2023 - 10:13:13 EST


Current kernel (d2980d8d826554fa6981d621e569a453787472f8) crashes
when blk_iocost_init for `nvme1` disk.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000050
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

This happens because ioc_refresh_params() is being called without
a properly initialized ioc->rqos, which is happening later in the callee
side.

ioc_refresh_params() -> ioc_autop_idx() tries to access
ioc->rqos.disk->queue but ioc->rqos.disk is NULL, causing the BUG above.

Create a function that is similar to ioc_refresh_params() but where the
"struct gendisk" could be passed as an explicit argument. This
function will be called when ioc->rqos.disk could not be trusted.

Fixes: ce57b558604e ("blk-rq-qos: make rq_qos_add and rq_qos_del more useful")
