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:
