Subject: KASAN warning in bt_for_each

Greetings, block experts!

I'm trying to track down a KASAN warning I'm seeing in our downstream
4.19 kernel, and I could use a little help. The warning looks like
this:

[  224.564894] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in bt_for_each+0x1ac/0x28c

What was I doing when I saw this?
I was running blktests block/005 (switch schedulers while doing IO) on
a loop device backed by a block device. I don't hit this on every run
of block/005, but with this script I can usually hit it in less than a
minute:

d=`losetup --show -f /dev/sda5` # Replace sda5 with your favorite
unused partition.
cd /usr/blktests
echo "TEST_DEVS=$d" > config
while true; do
    ./check block/005
done

I got totally lost in the blk-mq stuff, but my best hunch is related
to this comment in bt_iter:
        /*
         * We can hit rq == NULL here, because the tagging functions
         * test and set the bit before assining ->rqs[].
         */
        if (rq && rq->q == hctx->queue)
                iter_data->fn(hctx, rq, iter_data->data, reserved);

I believe the KASAN warning is about touching rq->q. So my question
is: blk_mq_put_tag doesn't appear to clear out tags->rqs[tag] when
releasing the tag, so what's to prevent bt_iter from looking through a
stale rq, in between when someone has allocated that sbitmap tag (for
the second time), but not yet assigned their own rq in ->rqs[tag].
Maybe there's some synchronization further up the stack that I'm
missing?

I was hoping to prove this by nulling out tags->rqs[tag] in
blk_mq_put_tag, but apparently hctx->tags is sometimes not valid
anymore by that point? Horrible things happen when I do that.

So I moved sideways and tried a partial fix by clearing rqs[tag] right
away in blk_mq_get_tag. This of course doesn't close my suspected
window, but does make it a lot smaller, and indeed I saw my repro rate
drop to zero (at least letting it go for a few minutes).

Do you agree this might be an issue, and if so, is there a good place
I can null out tags->rqs[tag] before calling blk_mq_put_tag?
