    block: Avoid that blk_exit_rl() triggers a use-after-free · b425e504
    Bart Van Assche authored
    Since the introduction of .init_rq_fn() and .exit_rq_fn() it is
    essential that the memory allocated for struct request_queue
    stays around until all blk_exit_rl() calls have finished. Hence
    make blk_init_rl() take a reference on struct request_queue.
    
    This patch fixes the following crash:
