Since commit 3726112e ("block, bfq: re-schedule empty queues if they deserve I/O plugging"), to prevent the service guarantees of a bfq_queue from being violated, the bfq_queue may be left busy, i.e., scheduled for service, even if empty (see comments in __bfq_bfqq_expire() for details). But, if no process will send requests to the bfq_queue any longer, then there is no point in keeping the bfq_queue scheduled for service. In addition, keeping the bfq_queue scheduled for service, but with no process reference any longer, may cause the bfq_queue to be freed when descheduled from service. But this is assumed to never happen, and causes a UAF if it happens. This, in turn, caused crashes [1, 2]. This commit fixes this issue by descheduling an empty bfq_queue when it remains with not process reference.
