[PATCH 3.11 120/208] dm delay: fix a possible deadlock due to shared workqueue
From: Luis Henriques
Date: Thu Dec 19 2013 - 07:28:55 EST
3.11.10.2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 718822c1c112dc99e0c72c8968ee1db9d9d910f0 upstream.
The dm-delay target uses a shared workqueue for multiple instances. This
can cause deadlock if two or more dm-delay targets are stacked on the top
of each other.
This patch changes dm-delay to use a per-instance workqueue.
