Hi,

It's right this is not a problem in common case. The problem seems to
relate to queue merging and task migration. Because I once reporduced
it with the same reporducer for the problem that offlined bfqg can be
inserted into service tree. The uaf is exactly in
bfq_remove_request->rb_rease(). However I didn't save the stack...

I guess this is because bfq_del_bfqq_busy() is called from
bfq_release_process_ref(), and queue merging prevert sunch bfqq to be
freed, thus such bfqq is not in service tree, and it's pos_root can
point to the old bfqg after bfq_bic_update_cgroup->bfq_bfqq_move.

I haven't confirmed this, however, this patch itself only cleared
bfqq->pos_root for idle bfqq, there should be no harm.

Thanks,
Kuai
