Hou Tao f308e9fbe0 dm thin: stop no_space_timeout worker when switching to write-mode
commit 75294442d8 upstream.

Now both check_for_space() and do_no_space_timeout() will read & write
pool->pf.error_if_no_space.  If these functions run concurrently, as
shown in the following case, the default setting of "queue_if_no_space"
can get lost.

precondition:
    * error_if_no_space = false (aka "queue_if_no_space")
    * pool is in Out-of-Data-Space (OODS) mode
    * no_space_timeout worker has been queued

CPU 0:                          CPU 1:
// delete a thin device
process_delete_mesg()
// check_for_space() invoked by commit()
set_pool_mode(pool, PM_WRITE)
    pool->pf.error_if_no_space = \
     pt->requested_pf.error_if_no_space

				// timeout, pool is still in OODS mode
				do_no_space_timeout
				    // "queue_if_no_space" config is lost
				    pool->pf.error_if_no_space = true
    pool->pf.mode = new_mode

Fix it by stopping no_space_timeout worker when switching to write mode.

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.
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.
