writeback: fix obtain a reference to a freeing memcg css
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.50 commit 6939c39a4106199877f93c96d931cff45c0d1dad bugzilla: 174522 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DNFY Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=6939c39a4106199877f93c96d931cff45c0d1dad -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 8b0ed844 ] The caller of wb_get_create() should pin the memcg, because wb_get_create() relies on this guarantee. The rcu read lock only can guarantee that the memcg css returned by css_from_id() cannot be released, but the reference of the memcg can be zero. rcu_read_lock() memcg_css = css_from_id() wb_get_create(memcg_css) cgwb_create(memcg_css) // css_get can change the ref counter from 0 back to 1 css_get(memcg_css) rcu_read_unlock() Fix it by holding a reference to the css before calling wb_get_create(). This is not a problem I encountered in the real world. Just the result of a code review.
