block: blk_init_allocated_queue() set q->fq as NULL in the fail case
commit 54648cf1ec2d7f4b6a71767799c45676a138ca24 upstream. We find the memory use-after-free issue in __blk_drain_queue() on the kernel 4.14. After read the latest kernel 4.18-rc6 we think it has the same problem. Memory is allocated for q->fq in the blk_init_allocated_queue(). If the elevator init function called with error return, it will run into the fail case to free the q->fq. Then the __blk_drain_queue() uses the same memory after the free of the q->fq, it will lead to the unpredictable event. The patch is to set q->fq as NULL in the fail case of blk_init_allocated_queue(). Fixes: commit 7c94e1c157a2 ("block: introduce blk_flush_queue to drive flush machinery") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: xiao jin <jin.xiao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> [groeck: backport to v4.4.y/v4.9.y (context change)] Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Alessio Balsini <balsini@android.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
