dm: initialize non-blk-mq queue data before queue is used Commit bfebd1cdb497a57757c83f5fbf1a29931591e2a4 ("dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM") moves the initialization of the fields backing_dev_info.congested_fn, backing_dev_info.congested_data and queuedata from the function dm_init_md_queue (that is called when the device is created) to dm_init_old_md_queue (that is called after the device type is determined). There is no locking when accessing these variables, thus it is possible for other parts of the kernel to briefly see this data in a transient state (e.g. queue->backing_dev_info.congested_fn initialized and md->queue->backing_dev_info.congested_data uninitialized, resulting in passing an incorrect parameter to the function dm_any_congested). This queue data is left initialized for blk-mq devices even though they that don't use it.
