During code review, we found that if bfqq is not busy in

that bfqq hold for the old bfqg will be released, so it's possible
that the old bfqg can be freed. This is problematic because the freed
bfqg can still be accessed by bfqq->pos_root.

Fix the problem by calling bfq_pos_tree_add_move() for idle bfqq
as well.

I'm just wondering, how can it happen that !bfq_bfqq_busy() queue is in
pos_tree? Because bfq_remove_request() takes care to remove bfqq from the
pos_tree...

Hi,

It's right this is not a problem in common case. The problem seems to
relate to queue merging and task migration. Because I once reporduced
it with the same reporducer for the problem that offlined bfqg can be
inserted into service tree. The uaf is exactly in
bfq_remove_request->rb_rease(). However I didn't save the stack...

I guess this is because bfq_del_bfqq_busy() is called from
bfq_release_process_ref(), and queue merging prevert sunch bfqq to be
freed, thus such bfqq is not in service tree, and it's pos_root can
point to the old bfqg after bfq_bic_update_cgroup->bfq_bfqq_move.

I haven't confirmed this, however, this patch itself only cleared
bfqq->pos_root for idle bfqq, there should be no harm.

Thanks,
Kuai
