We find the memory use-after-free issue in __blk_drain_queue() on the kernel 4.14. After read the latest kernel 4.18-rc6 we think it has the same problem.
Memory is allocated for q->fq in the blk_init_allocated_queue(). If the elevator init function called with error return, it will run into the fail case to free the q->fq.
Then the __blk_drain_queue() uses the same memory after the free of the q->fq, it will lead to the unpredictable event.
The patch is to set q->fq as NULL in the fail case of blk_init_allocated_queue().
