get_task_ioprio() accesses the task-&gt;io_context without holding the task
lock and thus can race with exit_io_context(), leading to a
use-after-free. The reproducer below hits this within a few seconds on
my 4-core QEMU VM:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include &lt;assert.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/syscall.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/wait.h&gt;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	pid_t pid, child;
	long nproc, i;

	/* ioprio_set(IOPRIO_WHO_PROCESS, 0, IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE, 0)); */
	syscall(SYS_ioprio_set, 1, 0, 0x6000);

	nproc = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);

	for (i = 0; i &lt; nproc; i++) {
		pid = fork();
		assert(pid != -1);
		if (pid == 0) {
			for (;;) {
				pid = fork();
				assert(pid != -1);
				if (pid == 0) {
					_exit(0);
				} else {
					child = wait(NULL);
					assert(child == pid);
				}
			}
		}

		pid = fork();
		assert(pid != -1);
		if (pid == 0) {
			for (;;) {
				/* ioprio_get(IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP, 0); */
				syscall(SYS_ioprio_get, 2, 0);
			}
		}
	}

	for (;;) {
		/* ioprio_get(IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP, 0); */
		syscall(SYS_ioprio_get, 2, 0);
	}

	return 0;
}

This gets us KASAN dumps like this:

Fix it by grabbing the task lock while we poke at the io_context.

submit_bio_wait() gives the caller an opportunity to examine
struct bio and so expects the caller to issue the put_bio()

This fixes a memory leak reported by a few people in 4.7-rc2
kmemleak report after 9082e87bfbf8 ("block: remove struct bio_batch")

Commit 0809e3ac6231 ("block: fix plug list flushing for nomerge queues")
updated blk_mq_make_request() to set request_count even when
blk_queue_nomerges() returns true. However, blk_mq_make_request() only
does limited plugging and doesn't use request_count;
blk_sq_make_request() is the one that should have been fixed. Do that
and get rid of the unnecessary work in the mq version.

 "DAX error handling for 4.7

   - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
     device.  This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
     errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.

   - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
     are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.

  Other misc changes:

   - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
     page aligned.  This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
     allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
     reads/writes would fail.

blk_mq_init_queue() calls blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(), but q-&gt;mq_ops
was not cleared when blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() fails.
Then blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_mq_free_queue() which will crash because:
- q-&gt;all_q_node is not added to all_q_list yet
- q-&gt;tag_set is NULL
- hctx was not setup yet or already freed

Fixed it by clearing q-&gt;mq_ops on error path.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and
  appeared in -next.  The "device dax" implementation was revised this
  week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected
  by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite.

  Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax
  error handling, and dax radix-tree locking).  These topics were
  deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
  coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree.  Vishal and
  Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
  the next few days.

  This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
  across 226 configs.

  Summary:

   - Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric
     analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory
     ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening
     file system.  Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
     Specifically this interface:

      a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
         (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

      b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
         fault scenarios are supported.

     Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
     targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
     differentiated memory ranges.

   - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
     This enables management of these first generation devices until a
     unified DSM specification materializes.

   - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
     identifier format.

   - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem"

Instead of opencoding let's use generic UUID library functions here.
