[PATCH 1/8] blk-cgroup: protect iterating blkgs with blkcg->lock in blkcg_print_stat()
From: Yu Kuai
Date: Sun Jun 07 2026 - 23:43:08 EST
From: Yu Kuai <yukuai@xxxxxxx>
blkcg_print_one_stat() will be called for each blkg:
- access blkg->iostat, which is freed from rcu callback
blkg_free_workfn();
- access policy data from pd_stat_fn(), which is freed from
pd_free_fn(), while pd_free_fn() can be called by removing blkcg or
deactivating policy;
Take blkcg->lock while iterating so the blkgs stay online and both
blkg->iostat and policy data for activated policies stay valid. Use
irq-safe locking because blkcg->lock can be nested under q->queue_lock,
which is used from IRQ completion paths.
Prepare to convert protecting blkgs from request_queue with mutex.
