| |
disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further cancellations.
Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could happen after return.
This bug triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662
Fix it by introducing DISK_EVENT_CANCELING bit which is set by the first blocker while cancellation is in progress. Further blockers wait until the bit is cleared by the first blocker.
