Once blk_cleanup_queue() returns, tags shouldn't be used any more, because blk_mq_free_tag_set() may be called. Commit45a9c9d909("blk-mq: Fix a use-after-free") fixes this issue exactly. However, that commit introduces another issue. Before45a9c9d909, we are allowed to run queue during cleaning up queue if the queue's kobj refcount is held. After that commit, queue can't be run during queue cleaning up, otherwise oops can be triggered easily because some fields of hctx are freed by blk_mq_free_queue() in blk_cleanup_queue(). We have invented ways for addressing this kind of issue before, such as:8dc765d438("SCSI: fix queue cleanup race before queue initialization is done")c2856ae2f3("blk-mq: quiesce queue before freeing queue") But still can't cover all cases, recently James reports another such kind of issue: https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=155389088124782&w=2 This issue can be quite hard to address by previous way, given scsi_run_queue() may run requeues for other LUNs. Fixes the above issue by freeing hctx's resources in its release handler, and this way is safe becasue tags isn't needed for freeing such hctx resource. This approach follows typical design pattern wrt. kobject's release handler.

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 Restructured Text 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.
