I just found that this is not enough, other problems still exist:

t1:		
bio_init
  bio_associate_blkg
   //get blkg->refcnt
......
submit_bio
  blk_throtl_bio
  // bio is throttlled, user thread can exit
  			t2:
			// blkcg online_pin is zero
			blkcg_destroy_blkgs
			 blkg_destroy
			  ioc_pd_offline
			   list_del_init(&iocg->active_list)
t3:
ioc_rqos_throttle
  blkg_to_iocg
  // got the iocg that is offlined
   iocg_activate
   // acitvate the iocg again

For consequence, kernel can crash due to access unexpected
address. Fortunately, bfq already handle similar problem by checking
blkg->online in bfq_bio_bfqg(), this problem can be fixed by checking
it in iocg_activate().

BTW, I'm still working on checking if other policies have the same
problem.

Thanks,
