Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

block, bfq: fix bfqq uaf in bfq_limit_depth()

Set new allocated bfqq to bic or remove freed bfqq from bic are both protected by bfqd->lock, however bfq_limit_depth() is deferencing bfqq from bic without the lock, this can lead to UAF if the io_context is shared by multiple tasks.

For example, test bfq with io_uring can trigger following UAF in v6.6:

================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in bfqq_group+0x15/0x50

Fix the problem by protecting bic_to_bfqq() with bfqd->lock.
