commit 75294442d896f2767be34f75aca7cc2b0d01301f upstream.
Now both check_for_space() and do_no_space_timeout() will read & write
pool->pf.error_if_no_space. If these functions run concurrently, as
shown in the following case, the default setting of "queue_if_no_space"
can get lost.
precondition:
* error_if_no_space = false (aka "queue_if_no_space")
* pool is in Out-of-Data-Space (OODS) mode
* no_space_timeout worker has been queued
CPU 0: CPU 1:
// delete a thin device
process_delete_mesg()
// check_for_space() invoked by commit()
set_pool_mode(pool, PM_WRITE)
pool->pf.error_if_no_space = \
pt->requested_pf.error_if_no_space
// timeout, pool is still in OODS mode
do_no_space_timeout
// "queue_if_no_space" config is lost
pool->pf.error_if_no_space = true
pool->pf.mode = new_mode
Fix it by stopping no_space_timeout worker when switching to write mode.
Fixes: bcc696fac11f ("dm thin: stay in out-of-data-space mode once no_space_timeout expires")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
