writeback: fix obtain a reference to a freeing memcg css
[ Upstream commit 8b0ed8443ae6458786580d36b7d5f8125535c5d4 ]
The caller of wb_get_create() should pin the memcg, because
wb_get_create() relies on this guarantee. The rcu read lock
only can guarantee that the memcg css returned by css_from_id()
cannot be released, but the reference of the memcg can be zero.
rcu_read_lock()
memcg_css = css_from_id()
wb_get_create(memcg_css)
cgwb_create(memcg_css)
// css_get can change the ref counter from 0 back to 1
css_get(memcg_css)
rcu_read_unlock()
Fix it by holding a reference to the css before calling
wb_get_create(). This is not a problem I encountered in the
real world. Just the result of a code review.
Fixes: 682aa8e1a6a1 ("writeback: implement unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction and use it for stat updates")
