This happens because iocg->ioc is NULL. The field is initialized by
ioc_pd_init() and never cleared. The NULL deref is caused by
blkcg_activate_policy() installing blkg_policy_data before initializing it.
blkcg_activate_policy() was doing the following:
1. Allocate pd's for all existing blkg's and install them in blkg->pd[].
2. Initialize all pd's.
3. Online all pd's.
blkcg_activate_policy() only grabs the queue_lock and may release and
re-acquire the lock as allocation may need to sleep. ioc_weight_write()
grabs blkcg->lock and iterates all its blkg's. The two can race and if
ioc_weight_write() runs during #1 or between #1 and #2, it can encounter a
pd which is not initialized yet, leading to crash.
The crash can be reproduced with the following script:
#!/bin/bash
echo +io > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
systemd-run --unit touch-sda --scope dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1 iflag=direct
echo 100 > /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/io.weight
bash -c "echo '8:0 enable=1' > /sys/fs/cgroup/io.cost.qos" &
sleep .2
echo 100 > /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/io.weight

I don't see a reason why all pd's should be allocated, initialized and
onlined together. The only ordering requirement is that parent blkgs to be
initialized and onlined before children, which is guaranteed from the
walking order. Let's fix the bug by allocating, initializing and onlining pd
for each blkg and holding blkcg->lock over initialization and onlining. This
ensures that an installed blkg is always fully initialized and onlined
removing the the race window.
