blk-cgroup: Fix UAF in blkcg_unpin_online()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 86e6ca5 upstream.

blkcg_unpin_online() walks up the blkcg hierarchy putting the online pin. To
walk up, it uses blkcg_parent(blkcg) but it was calling that after
blkcg_destroy_blkgs(blkcg) which could free the blkcg, leading to the
following UAF:

Note that the UAF is not easy to trigger as the free path is indirected
behind a couple RCU grace periods and a work item execution. I could only
trigger it with artifical msleep() injected in blkcg_unpin_online().

Fix it by reading the parent pointer before destroying the blkcg's blkg's.
