[ Upstream commit1137838865] The deferred_probe_timeout_work may be permanently and unexpectedly canceled when deferred_probe_extend_timeout() executes concurrently. Starting with deferred_probe_timeout_work pending, the problem can occur after the following sequence: CPU0 CPU1 deferred_probe_extend_timeout -> cancel_delayed_work() => true deferred_probe_extend_timeout -> cancel_delayed_work() -> __cancel_work() -> try_grab_pending() -> schedule_delayed_work() -> queue_delayed_work_on() (Since the pending bit is grabbed, it just returns without queuing) -> set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() (This __cancel_work() returns false and the work will never be queued again) The root cause is that the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT of the work_struct is set temporarily in __cancel_work() (via try_grab_pending()). This transient state prevents the work_struct from being successfully queued by another CPU. To fix this, replace the original non-atomic cancel and schedule mechanism with mod_delayed_work(). This ensures the modification is handled atomically and guarantees that the work is not lost.

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.
