Race detected between psi_trigger_destroy/create as shown below, which
cause panic by accessing invalid psi_system->poll_wait->wait_queue_entry
and psi_system->poll_timer->entry->next. Under this modification, the
race window is removed by initialising poll_wait and poll_timer in
group_init which are executed only once at beginning.
psi_trigger_destroy() psi_trigger_create()
mutex_lock(trigger_lock);
rcu_assign_pointer(poll_task, NULL);
mutex_unlock(trigger_lock);
mutex_lock(trigger_lock);
if (!rcu_access_pointer(group->poll_task)) {
timer_setup(poll_timer, poll_timer_fn, 0);
rcu_assign_pointer(poll_task, task);
}
mutex_unlock(trigger_lock);
synchronize_rcu();
del_timer_sync(poll_timer); <-- poll_timer has been reinitialized by
psi_trigger_create()
So, trigger_lock/RCU correctly protects destruction of
group->poll_task but misses this race affecting poll_timer and
poll_wait.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
