[PATCH 4.19 38/71] kthread_worker: prevent queuing delayed work from timer_fn when it is being canceled

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6993d0fdbee0eb38bfac350aa016f65ad11ed3b1 upstream.

There is a small race window when a delayed work is being canceled and
the work still might be queued from the timer_fn:

CPU0 CPU1
kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
__kthread_cancel_work_sync()
__kthread_cancel_work()
work->canceling++;
kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
kthread_insert_work();

BUG: kthread_insert_work() should not get called when work->canceling is
set.
