commit 1c05839aa973cfae8c3db964a21f9c0eef8fcc21 upstream. This fixes a regression added with: commit e9e006f5fcf2bab59149cb38a48a4817c1b538b4 Author: Mike Christie <mchristi@redhat.com> Date: Sun Aug 4 14:10:06 2019 -0500 nbd: fix max number of supported devs where we can deadlock during device shutdown. The problem occurs if the recv_work's nbd_config_put occurs after nbd_start_device_ioctl has returned and the userspace app has droppped its reference via closing the device and running nbd_release. The recv_work nbd_config_put call would then drop the refcount to zero and try to destroy the config which would try to do destroy_workqueue from the recv work. This patch just has nbd_start_device_ioctl do a flush_workqueue when it wakes so we know after the ioctl returns running works have exited. This also fixes a possible race where we could try to reuse the device while old recv_works are still running.

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.
