We've triggered a WARNING in blk_throtl_bio() when throttling writeback io, which complains blkg->refcnt is already 0 when calling blkg_get(), and then kernel crashes with invalid page request. After investigating this issue, we've found it is caused by a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir(), which is described below: writeback kworker cgroup_rmdir cgroup_destroy_locked kill_css css_killed_ref_fn css_killed_work_fn offline_css blkcg_css_offline blkcg_bio_issue_check rcu_read_lock blkg_lookup spin_trylock(q->queue_lock) blkg_destroy spin_unlock(q->queue_lock) blk_throtl_bio spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock) ... spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock) rcu_read_unlock Since rcu can only prevent blkg from releasing when it is being used, the blkg->refcnt can be decreased to 0 during blkg_destroy() and schedule blkg release. Then trying to blkg_get() in blk_throtl_bio() will complains the WARNING. And then the corresponding blkg_put() will schedule blkg release again, which result in double free. This race is introduced by commit ae118896 ("blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()"). Before this commit, it will lookup first and then try to lookup/create again with queue_lock. Since revive this logic is a bit drastic, so fix it by only offlining pd during blkcg_css_offline(), and move the rest destruction (especially blkg_put()) into blkcg_css_free(), which should be the right way as discussed.
