In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bfq: Avoid merging queues with different parents
It can happen that the parent of a bfqq changes between the moment we decide two queues are worth to merge (and set bic->stablemergebfqq) and the moment bfqsetupmerge() is called. This can happen e.g. because the process submitted IO for a different cgroup and thus bfqq got reparented. It can even happen that the bfqq we are merging with has parent cgroup that is already offline and going to be destroyed in which case the merge can lead to use-after-free issues such as:

Fix the problem by checking that the parent of the two bfqqs we are merging in bfqsetupmerge() is the same.
