Hi Yu Kuai Thanks for reporting this problem. For creating raid device, md raid calls do_md_run->md_run, dm raid calls md_run. We alloc those memory in md_run. For stopping raid device, md raid calls do_md_stop->__md_stop, dm raid calls md_stop->__md_stop. So how about this patch:

From: Yu Kuai <redacted> If md_run() failed after 'acitive_io' is initialized, then percpu_ref_exit() is called in error path, however, later md_free_disk() will call percpu_ref_exit() again, which lead to following null-ptr-deference: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 41 PID: 585 Comm: kworker/41:1 Not tainted 6.2.0-rc8-next-20230220 #1452 Workqueue: md_misc mddev_delayed_delete RIP: 0010:free_percpu+0x110/0x630 Call Trace: <TASK> __percpu_ref_exit+0x44/0x70 percpu_ref_exit+0x16/0x90 md_free_disk+0x2f/0x80 disk_release+0x101/0x180 device_release+0x84/0x110 kobject_put+0x12a/0x380 kobject_put+0x160/0x380 mddev_delayed_delete+0x19/0x30 process_one_work+0x269/0x680 worker_thread+0x266/0x640 kthread+0x151/0x1b0 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 Since freeing mddev will exit 'active_io' unconditionally, fix the problem by removing exiting 'active_io' from error path, this way it will be delayed to free mddev.
