Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 2/2] ms/blk-throttle: fix throtl_data leak during disk release
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 17:12:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102161219.3735623-3-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102161219.3735623-1-den@openvz.org>
From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>
Tightening the throttle activation check in blk_throtl_activated() to
require both q->td presence and policy bit set introduced a memory leak
during disk release:
blkg_destroy_all() clears the policy bit first during queue deactivation,
causing subsequent blk_throtl_exit() to skip throtl_data cleanup when
blk_throtl_activated() fails policy check.
Idealy we should avoid modifying blk_throtl_exit() activation check because
it's intuitive that blk-throtl start from blk_throtl_init() and end in
blk_throtl_exit(). However, call blk_throtl_exit() before
blkg_destroy_all() will make a long term deadlock problem easier to
trigger[1], hence fix this problem by checking if q->td is NULL from
blk_throtl_exit(), and remove policy deactivation as well since it's
useless.
