This is just apply Kuai's patch in [1] with mirror changes.
blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() will free the 'queue_hw_ctx'(e.g. undate
submit_queues through configfs for null_blk), while it might still be
used from other context(e.g. switch elevator to none):
t1 t2
elevator_switch
blk_mq_unquiesce_queue
blk_mq_run_hw_queues
queue_for_each_hw_ctx
// assembly code for hctx = (q)->queue_hw_ctx[i]
mov 0x48(%rbp),%rdx -> read old queue_hw_ctx
__blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs
hctxs = q->queue_hw_ctx
q->queue_hw_ctx = new_hctxs
kfree(hctxs)
movslq %ebx,%rax
mov (%rdx,%rax,8),%rdi ->uaf
This problem was found by code review, and I comfirmed that the concurrent
scenario do exist(specifically 'q->queue_hw_ctx' can be changed during
blk_mq_run_hw_queues()), however, the uaf problem hasn't been repoduced yet
without hacking the kernel.
Sicne the queue is freezed in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), fix the
problem by protecting 'queue_hw_ctx' through rcu where it can be accessed
without grabbing 'q_usage_counter'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
