From: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@linaro.org> mainline inclusion from mainline-5.6-rc1 commit ecedd3d7e19911ab8fe42f17b77c0a30fe7f4db3 category: bugfix bugzilla: 50775 CVE: NA --------------------------- In bfq_bfqq_move(), the bfq_queue, say Q, to be moved to a new group may happen to be deactivated in the scheduling data structures of the source group (and then activated in the destination group). If Q is referred only by the data structures in the source group when the deactivation happens, then Q is freed upon the deactivation. This commit addresses this issue by getting an extra reference before the possible deactivation, and releasing this extra reference after Q has been moved.
