Subject: [PATCH 4.15 053/168] blk-mq: fix race between updating nr_hw_queues and switching io sched

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@...hat.com>


[ Upstream commit fb350e0ad99359768e1e80b4784692031ec340e4 ]

In both elevator_switch_mq() and blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), sched tags
can be allocated, and q->nr_hw_queue is used, and race is inevitable, for
example: blk_mq_init_sched() may trigger use-after-free on hctx, which is
freed in blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() when nr_hw_queues is decreased.

This patch fixes the race be holding q->sysfs_lock.
