In normal queue cleanup path, hctx is released after request queue is freed, see blk_mq_release(). However, in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), hctx may be freed because of hw queues shrinking. This way is easy to cause use-after-free, because: one implicit rule is that it is safe to call almost all block layer APIs if the request queue is alive; and one hctx may be retrieved by one API, then the hctx can be freed by blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(); finally use-after-free is triggered. Fixes this issue by always freeing hctx after releasing request queue. If some hctxs are removed in blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), introduce a per-queue list to hold them, then try to resuse these hctxs if numa node is matched.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
