From bb751a9e3c87fb1c408f3ef181acfde39fe14bde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tasos Sahanidis Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2021 09:47:58 +0300 Subject: floppy: Fix hang in watchdog when disk is ejected [ Upstream commit fb48febce7e30baed94dd791e19521abd2c3fd83 ] When the watchdog detects a disk change, it calls cancel_activity(), which in turn tries to cancel the fd_timer delayed work. In the above scenario, fd_timer_fn is set to fd_watchdog(), meaning it is trying to cancel its own work. This results in a hang as cancel_delayed_work_sync() is waiting for the watchdog (itself) to return, which never happens. This can be reproduced relatively consistently by attempting to read a broken floppy, and ejecting it while IO is being attempted and retried. To resolve this, this patch calls cancel_delayed_work() instead, which cancels the work without waiting for the watchdog to return and finish. Before this regression was introduced, the code in this section used del_timer(), and not del_timer_sync() to delete the watchdog timer.
