[ 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
