Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
Revert "Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges""<br />
<br />
A crash [1] happened to be triggered in conjunction with commit<br />
2d52c58b9c9b ("block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges"). The<br />
latter was then reverted by commit ebc69e897e17 ("Revert "block, bfq:<br />
honor already-setup queue merges""). Yet, the reverted commit was not<br />
the one introducing the bug. In fact, it actually triggered a UAF<br />
introduced by a different commit, and now fixed by commit d29bd41428cf<br />
("block, bfq: reset last_bfqq_created on group change").<br />
<br />
So, there is no point in keeping commit 2d52c58b9c9b ("block, bfq:<br />
honor already-setup queue merges") out. This commit restores it.<br />
